ETHAN LUU
Greetings, fellow gamers and game enthusiasts! I'm Ethan Luu, a passionate Game Creator with a fervor for crafting captivating virtual worlds. As a current Freshman in George Mason University's Computer Game Design Program, I have dedicated myself to the art and science of game design, constantly seeking new challenges and creative outlets in this dynamic industry.
In the realm of game design, I have roughly a year of Game Design experience so far, where I've honed my skills and fueled my love for programming. My journey began at a young age. As a child, I was always felt that video games acted as a brief escape from reality, where anything and everything can happen, and since then, I've immersed myself in the intricacies of creating immersive and memorable gaming experiences, hoping that one day, I can inspire others to create games.
What drives me in this ever-evolving field is the sheer magic of bringing ideas to life, shaping interactive narratives, and providing players with a journey that transcends the boundaries of reality. From the moment I stepped onto George Mason's Campus and took the Intro to Computer Game Design Course, I fell in love and found my calling in game design, and I've been on an exhilarating quest ever since.
Charmweaver's Pursuit is a 2.5D deck-building game. It has voxel scenery with pixel art characters. Currently, the goal of the game is to stop the demon fox Sebatsian (far right). As Chase (left), you have the power to create magical charms to ward off and conjure spells against the shadows of Sebastian to gain strength. Eventually leading you to a final confrontation with Sebastian. This project started as a small idea, but now it has a team of four, with me as the programmer, with hopes of someday releasing it on Steam.
As a Computer Game Design Major at George Mason University, I am immersed in the dynamic world of game development. With a keen passion for crafting immersive and engaging gaming experiences, I have honed my skills in areas such as game design, programming, and storytelling. My academic journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of the industry's latest trends and technologies. As I approach graduation in 2027, I am excited to leverage my education and creativity to contribute meaningfully to the ever-evolving landscape of computer game design.
The Boss Rush Game Jam is a month-long event going from January 5 to February 5. A game jam is an event where individuals or teams come together to create a video game within a short period. Participants, often game developers, designers, programmers, and artists, collaborate to conceptualize, design, and build a game from scratch based on a given theme or set of constraints. I, allong with four teammates are competing in the Boss Rush Game Jam.
