Jacob Saueressig Email & Phone Number

I'm Jacob Saueressig from Orange County, CA. I graduated from DigiPen, Institute of Technology in Redmond, WA with a B.S. Degree in Computer Science and Game Design. I enjoy solving difficult puzzles and coming up with new and creative ideas. I believe that with a strong drive and determination, one can achieve almost anything - in a group environment, this power can be increased exponentially. That's why I'm in the games industry: I want to work with other like-minded individuals to achieve greatness. I enjoy game design and gameplay programming because it allows me to bridge the two worlds of art and science. I can work with artists to achieve the best looking product, and also engage with programmers for results that combine to create something that works as well as it looks. Being in the mindset of both art and science, I often discover solutions others miss, thus making the team more productive through collaboration and exploration of new ideas. I understand the bottom line for what makes a game marketable and approachable is the amount of fun the consumer can gain from the act of playing it. With this in mind I always set out to create the most engaging and entertaining experience possible.Skills:• Design Skills: Gameplay Mechanics, Level Design, Puzzle Design, User Experience, Rapid Prototyping• 3D Design Tools: Autodesk Maya• 2D Design Tools: Adobe Photoshop• Programming/Scripting Languages: C, C#, C++, Python, Blueprints (Unreal)• Technical Skills: Gameplay Programming, Component Based Design, Object Oriented Programming, AI Pathfinding and Behavior Systems• 3D Engines: Unreal Engine, Unity3D, Slipspace Engine, Zero Editor• Other Software: SVN, P4V, Visual Studio, Azure DevOps Server, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint
