Hi, I'm E-Jay :)
Games Designer, Programmer & Video Editor
I am a student studying Games Design and Art at the University of Southampton. I make games mainly using Unity and C#, but I love learning and branching out to create things using other tools and software.
Tools I've used to design and create:
