Hi, my name is
Callum Poole.
A Game Developer and Programming Hobbist.
Hi, I'm Callum, a passionate game programmer based in Sheffield, UK with a keen eye for detail and a drive to create innovative and captivating gaming experiences. I received a 1st in Games Computing from the University of Lincoln, which laid a strong foundation for my career in the gaming industry.
I have had the privilege of working on a variety of games, ranging from puzzle games to shooters to fighting games, and I take pride in my ability to bring complex game mechanics to life. With several years of experience under my belt, I've gained a deep understanding of both the technical and creative aspects of game development.
My work has taken me to exciting places around the world. I've worked in Bangkok, Thailand, where I was able to immerse myself in a new culture and gain fresh perspectives on game development. Currently, I'm based in Sheffield, where I continue to create engaging games that leave a lasting impression on players.
When I'm not working, you'll find me exploring new programming techniques and delving into the latest games. I'm also passionate about spending time with my loved ones and exploring the great outdoors.
A prototype game featuring first person melee and ranged combat allowing local-play and network-play simulaneously. I created this prototype to explore different game design possibilities around the theme of descructible players.
A resource management game focused around collecting, purifying, storing and distributing water. Created as my final year dissertation project, the focus was more on the physics and purification of water flow and distribution rather than aesthetics, hence why everything is untextured. University Project.
A pinball simulation to demonstrate PhysX. The game includes: 3 paddles, a plunger, a live counting syste and various bit and bobs to earn points. University Project.
A Pong replica used to demonstrate OpenGL usage. Can be played with two-players, first get to 5 points wins, can be viewed from 3 perspectives: side-on, top-down and rabbit view. University Project.
