About Me

Evan Thiede

Hi, my name is Evan and I'm a game developer. I have spent the last 5 years developing my skills in a wide variety of media. These range from video editing and audio design, all the way up to Amazon Alexa integration with Echo Frames. While I'd like to say that I've mastered all of those, I gravitate more towards the visual elements.
In my undergraduate program, I focused heavily on the game development. We were introduced to Unity early on and I took a liking to it. I chose to focus on the level design and flow aspects of game development. I spent my time building out greybox scenes and eventually filling them in with finalized assets. Instead of making code-driven complex mechanics, I stuck to environmental storytelling and provoking emotions. My usage of Unity and Unreal Engine in my degree was focused on being a level designer and artist. This specialization has carried over into projects past my degree. I have worked as a level designer and concept modeler for indie studio Torchfire for the last 3 years.
