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.

Josh McKone

I’m a Baylor Computer Science Major with a concentration in Game Design. I love everything to do with computers, from building them to coding on them, and have a special fascination on all aspects of video games. I’m an avid gamer and hope to become a developer myself one day.

Career Goals

It is my goal to be able to program and develop games. I plan to start out at a bigger company to gain experience, then hopefully will be able to strike out on my own.

 

Experience

Aside from the few programming classes I’ve taken, and the little bit that I’ve done in some game-making engines, I have no experience designing or programming games.
