About Me

Hello and welcome! My name is Darryn Dunn, and I am a Computer Science student currently nearing the end of my senior year. I enjoy programming, game development, and learning new technologies. I am a hardworking and organized person who enjoys creating projects and finding new ways to improve my skills.

I am majoring in Computer Science with a focus on Video Game Development. My goal is to eventually work professionally in the game development industry and help create interactive experiences that people can enjoy.

What I Do

My interests in Computer Science are primarily focused on game development, programming, and creating interactive experiences. I also enjoy experimenting with different technologies and learning new tools.

Game Development

I enjoy designing and developing gameplay systems using game engines such as Unreal Engine and Unity. I have worked with player controls, enemy AI, physics systems, level design, and other gameplay mechanics.

Programming

I have experience programming in several languages including C++, C#, Java, Python, JavaScript, and Swift. I enjoy using programming to solve problems and bring ideas to life.

3D Design

I use Blender to experiment with 3D modeling and create objects and assets for games and personal projects. I enjoy learning more about how 3D art and programming can work together in game development.

Currently Working On

Verdant Defence

I am currently working on Verdant Defence, a third-person action tower defense game that combines traditional tower defense mechanics with real-time player combat.

The player can personally fight incoming enemies while also deploying automated defenses. Enemies use AI behaviors that allow them to follow their normal path toward an objective while also reacting to and pursuing the player when they enter a certain range.

The project allows me to continue developing my skills with game design, enemy AI, gameplay programming, and Unreal Engine.

Interests and Hobbies

Outside of programming and game development, I enjoy playing video games, watching movies and shows, archery, paintball, hiking, and spending time working on personal projects.

Video games have been one of my biggest interests for a long time, which is also one of the reasons I became interested in pursuing game development. I enjoy seeing how programming, art, sound, and design can all come together to create an interactive experience.

I am also a big Disney pin collector. Over time, my collection has grown into one of my biggest hobbies. I enjoy collecting, trading, organizing, and displaying different pins.
