Matthew Lowe

Game Developer

Who am I?

I'm Matthew, a passionate programmer specializing in gameplay programming and looking to break into the game development industry.

​

I graduated from Royal Holloway, University of London in 2023 with Upper-Second Class Honours in Computer Science. My love for game development really took off at university when I teamed up with two others to recreate a version of the Nintendo DS Pokémon games in Python.

​

After graduating, I completed CG Spectrum's Diploma in Game Programming (September 2023 - July 2024), focusing on Unreal Engine 4 & 5 with C++ and Blueprints. I learned how to program character movement, implement animations, and build AI using behaviour trees and AI senses.

​

I'm now doing an MSc in Computer Games at Queen Mary University of London while building up my portfolio with personal projects in both Unreal Engine and Unity.

​

I'm looking for entry-level positions or internships where I can apply my Unreal Engine and Unity experience, contribute to gameplay systems, and continue developing my technical skills alongside experienced developers.

Personal Interests

My passion for gaming started at the age of 7 when I began playing Pokemon Diamond on the Nintendo DS. I discovered my competitiveness when I picked up Mario Kart and was determined to be the best out of my friends.

​

The first console I played was the PS3 were I started off playing Fifa and COD Black Ops 2 Zombies. Almost every weekend I would have my friends over to play Zombies all day long with a few games of Fifa inbetween.

​

As my friends began to transition onto PC gaming I followed, this is when I fell in love CSGO. Ever since then Counterstrike has been my main game that I keep coming back to. When I was at university I competed for the Esports team against other universities in Nuel, NSE, and even a LAN event. During this time I also reached top 100 UK for individual rankings.

​

Outside of counterstrike I have enjoyed a variety of games such as Minecraft, H1Z1, Fortnite, Elden Ring, God of War, and Rocket League. Competitve gaming has always been what I enjoy the most and I believe that drive to improve has also helped me in my professional interests too!

​

Stepping away from my passion for games and game development I love to be active by consistently going to the gym and going for walks with friends and family. I also thoroughly love to travel and have visited countries in North america such as the US, Canada, Mexico. In Asia I have travelled to China, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore. I'm very greatful to have visited over 30 counties and it has helped me understand different cultures from all over the world.
