CHRIS B. BROWN
Welcome!
I am a Unity Software Engineer currently in Boston, MA working at Samsung Neuroogica. I received a Bachelor's Degree in Game Design & Development from Rochester Institute of Technology in December 2018.
I'm mainly interested in game development; I've been doing it for 6 years professionally and as a passion. I work on a passion project in my free time called Project Break! It's a 2D fighting game, inspired by the trends current fighting games are going towards, where technical skill and creativity meet simplicity. The project started in May 2021; I currently work as the only programmer with a friend who is leading the game design.
In the past I worked as a freelance dev, working on a variety of different contracts. A project I helped start and finish is a mobile title called Hoodlings! I was the lead developer in a team of three devs, working on all fronts of the game.
Out of college, I worked at Darkwind Media Ltd. as a Junior Game Developer. There, my focus was on Iron Man VR! I helped debug graphical issues, systems issues, and I made tools to support the team.
My projects are below and LinkedIn and Github links are in the top right!

PROJECTS
Project Break
Lead Programmer
Developed with Unity 2021, C#
Our team of two, comprising myself as the developer and a talented designer, has been developing a 2D fighting game using Unity 2021 and C#. We utilized Trello to manage the development process and ensure smooth progress. As the developer, I was responsible for character abilities, movement, attacks, character animations, gameplay effects, and UI design and implementation. The code for the game is available upon request!
HOODLINGS
Main Developer
Created with Unity 2019, C#

Auto-runner game where you swing from string to string. Collect all the Hoodlings at local stores and unlock special skins! Worked on a code system used to unlock skins with Excel, along with all other systems, game states, player states, UI, etc.
We gained 10k in funding from Rochester Institute of Technology to continue development; we launched in 2021!
ABOUT CHRIS
I've always been around music since my parents are musicians, so recently I started collecting vinyls, and (trying) to produce music! Hip-hop, jazz, funk, electronic, classic rock, and prog-rock are what I'm most into right now. I love playing competitive tactical shooters like Valorant and platform-fighting games like Smash Bros. Melee, so much so that I founded a club at RIT for Super Smash Bros.! I'm going back to rock climbing once I heal from my ACL tear. My favorite food (if it counts as food) is any ice cream with chocolate in it!
