"I want to make games that make people happy."
I'm Brody Silva, a game programming student at Champlain College focused on gameplay engineering, game systems, tools, and technical problem solving. I work with Unity, Unreal Engine, C++, C#, OpenGL, game physics, and AI for games.
I like building clean, efficient code that supports fun gameplay and makes other people's work easier. Whether I'm programming mechanics, prototyping systems, improving player feel, or creating designer-friendly tools, I focus on readable architecture and practical results.
I'm interested in gameplay engineering, game programming internships, tools programming, and collaborative game development opportunities.
