About

Hi, I’m Ross Cutsforth, a passionate game developer and designer specialized in creating immersive and engaging experiences. I have hands-on expertise in both the artistic and programming sides of game development, including creating animations, designing unique enemies, implementing physics, and crafting dynamic systems. I’m driven by creativity, attention to detail, and a love for crafting interactive worlds.

Alongside my technical skills, I have experience teaching game development concepts and mentoring others. I enjoy using various tools and languages such as C++, C#, Unity, Unreal Engine, and Blender to bring ideas to life. Outside of development, I like writing, drawing, playing basketball, and cooking, which help me keep a well-rounded creative mindset.
