CASH COLWELL / GAME DESIGN STUDENT
Game Design you can watch grow.
Hey I’m Cash, a game design student who wants to make characters and worlds that feel alive. Although everybody may want that, I want to understand the process, and make something that everybody gets to watch grow and evolve.
I’m especially drawn to atmospheric experiences and projects that trust players to observe and find their own way through a space. This portfolio is a record of what I’m making, but also what I'm learning, and how I hope to develop in the future.
