Welcome to my blog. On this blog you will be seeing my progress throughout two years of studying a level 3 games design course at South Leicester College. I created this blog to upload my work during my time at SLC. The finished games I will create will also be posted on to this blog.  Just a few things about myself, I absolutely love football and i am a season ticket holder at Leicester City FC and have been for 6 years. My favourite game is Fifa however I also like playing games like Call Of Duty, UFC 2 and GTA 5. My ambitions for games design is to create fully functional games that I enjoy and that i feel other people would enjoy.
