About Collie Bartley

Collie has been passionate about games for as long as they can recall. The ability to create immersive and thought-provoking worlds that utilise uniquely interesting mechanics to capture an audience and provide them with an engaging and inspirational experience, is one that they not only admire but striveto learn and develop for themself. Over the past several years they have focused on building a game development skillset through working on several small projects, both solo and with a team. Originallystarting out with small scratch and monogame games in high school, Collie eventually stumbled across the Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE) in Sydney via an Ad on the side of a bus. Therethey began studying Animation, Modelling and Programming during the holiday courses AIE offered. After leaving high school Collie knew exactly what they wanted their future career to be, and so they enrolled into the game design course at AIE and created several further projects that they have since released onto their itch.io page (https://caerwyn.itch.io/).Through these projects Collie created several small games that they are extremely proud of. Creating them was an incredibly fun experience where they got the pleasure to work with many inspiring teammates, and further expand upon their skillsets, knowledge of game design and the overall game development cycle. In their personal time, Collie enjoys working on growing their skillsets in other areas by continuing to learn more about 3D Modelling and Animation via Blender, and Programming via solo and team-based Unity projects. Collie also enjoys studying new game releases and creating design test projects like Arcade Panic (https://caerwyn.itch.io/arcade-panic). Collie's hope is that through the dedication they have for their craft they will be able to work with those who have inspired them throughout their career andcreate amazing experiences for many to enjoy and love just like they did.Collie currently works as one of two Game Designer at Not Doppler on Earn to Die Rogue.
