Joseph Chandler Shane Bledsoe

I am a 19-year-old sophomore at Baylor University; I am majoring in computer science with a concentration on game design. I love all things video games and believe them to be the most innovative, inspiring media and the future of digital entertainment.

Career Goals

I strive to aid in the programming, scripting, character design, and development of video games. With enough time, diligence, and passion for video games, I pursue the goal of leading projects of my own that will redefine the norm of the industry, but more importantly, inspire the next generation of game developers.

Experience

My current experience comes from my courses in introductory programming and game design. I am a newcomer to the industry; however, my conviction drives towards my ambitious goals while learning all I can along the journey.

Favorite Games

I have always found this question difficult for I find many games are my “favorite” for their unique personality, intuitive gameplay, and innovations; however, these games/series encompass a multitude of positives without diluting the quality of the game:

The Elder Scrolls:(Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Online), Diablo:(2,3), Sid Meir’s Civilization: V, Monster Hunter:(Generations Ultimate & World/Iceborn), Divinity Original Sin 2, The Witcher 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Stardew Valley, Bioshock Trilogy, & Red Dead Redemption (1 & 2)

Mohsen Soltani (2022)

Mohsen Soltani

Hi! I’m Mohsen Soltani. I’m a Freshman majoring in Computer Science.
I’m currently exploring game design as a concentration since video games played a relatively big part in my childhood.
Here’s a few fun facts about me:

  • I was born and raised in North Carolina
  • I am from Trinity, a small town in the Piedmont area of NC
  • My first console was a Nintendo 64,
  • In my opinion, the best soft drink is Cheerwine. I’m sorry Baylor, but Dr. Pepper is a close second

Career Goals

After graduation, I would love to get a job as a game designer for Bungie.
I enjoyed playing their earlier works, such as Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo Reach, but their newer releases, such as Destiny and Destiny 2 were somewhat disappointing.
I want to get a chance to bring back the (guilty) spark their games once had.
Should my career in game development fail, my skills as a programmer can kickstart a career in software development or cybersecurity
