My name is Hal Harris, I am an aspiring game developer and video game enthusiast! (You may see me ingame as NinjaBanana or Bananaman1501)
After having an early and keen interest of programming and design I began independent learning with a computer company in C# and Javascript and continued to do Computer Science (AQA) for an early A Level. To continue to pursue my interest in learning within this field I went to study BSc Creative Computing (Gaming) at Bath Spa University where I gained skills in creative storytelling, compelling gameplay and mechanics which I have used to create the games seen in my portfolio linked. Alongside these skills learnt at Bath Spa University it allowed me to have strengthened my experience in programming learning C++ and Construct3.
I make most of my projects using Unity, but have dabbled with other game development engines here and there. I Have 10 years of C# programming experience, and 8 years of Unity experience (mostly self taught). I have a 2:1 in Creative Computing (Gaming) undergraduate degree from Bath Spa University, which I achieved in 2022 (The lockdown + Uni experience was interesting), in which time I made several game projects, both alone and with friends, some of which you can be found here. I recently was on the Mastered game development training course to help me improve my Unity development skills. I've put some of the projects from the course on this page for you to enjoy :)
I am a fan of most types of games, and play a wide variety of things on multiple different platforms. But I have a special place for Nintendo games (especially Pokémon), and an endless love for the random chaos of Roguelikes and Battle Royales. I also play D&D and many different board and card games as well.
Some of my favourite games include: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Pokémon, The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of The Wild, Skyrim, Hollow Knight, Enter the Gungeon, Terraria, Minecraft (java edition obviously) and Cult of the Lamb.
