HENRY CHEN
GAME DESIGN PORTFOLIO
SHORT SUMMARY
Hi! I'm Henry, a game developer and video editor from California, and I have been studying game development at the University of Texas At Austin with a degree in Art and Entertainment Technologies.
​
On my portfolio, you can see some of my school projects as well as passion projects that I have been working on. I enjoy creating new ways to bring my ideas to life through numerous different game engines, whether that's 2D or 3D. I have strong perseverance for seeing projects through and am open to learning new things to expand my skill set. I find every facet of game development captivating, and I'm well-versed in various aspects of the game development process. Game mechanics have always been a frequently brought up topic of mine which led me to learn how to program in both visual and text-based scripting.
​
I also do video editing as a hobby and edit for my friend's gym YouTube channel since I am also a gymbro myself
If you have any other questions feel free to contact me! :)
