About Kyle Holmes

I have been working in game development for 5 years, I am a very hard working and ambitious game developer. who specializes in technical design. I started this journey at Falmouth university completing a BA in Digital games in 2019. Since this over the last 18 month I went on to complete my masters in Entripenurship and co found Handsome Devil Studios - a small indie studio working on my most recent game The Last Siren (MVP) . I have been working primarily as a Techinical designer, covering most aspects of game development. While working on The Last Siren we managed to get green lite by one of Amcericas biggest Tv network allow us to attach The Last Siren onto the TV shows IP.My first game I worked on at university was called ALT. During this project I would be placed into a design/programmer role, this role would require me to work on level design and level programming in C#.In my second year of university, I would be placed into a bigger team that had me specialize more, which required me to take up a gameplay programming role in this team. I would primarily work on level programming in the Unreal Engine working in Blueprint programming. I would learn to work effectively in a team and whenever the team would face hardship I would help to guide us back on track.In my 3rd year of university, I would work closely on a small project that I am hopeful we can develop further in the future. In my third year, I would work in multiple roles to meet the needs of my team. On this project, my main role would be lead programmer, but I would also need to program animations for the game, set up audio triggers, and balance the game's mechanics.Since the summer of 2019, I have completed a masters in Entrepreneurship getting a merit grade, and my partners and I have founded our games studio Handsome Devil Studios. Unfortunately, we have come to the decision that now was not the right time to start a company and I am now ready to go into the games industry as a technical designer.Now I am looking forward and ready to start my next chapter in life within the games industry.
