Hi! I’m Jacob Cruz, currently a 4th year student enrolled at Champlain College, VT. I’m majoring in Game Design and I’m set to graduate in May 2026! Gaming and the design of games is a huge passion of mine, and I’m hoping to make a career out of it through my education here at Champlain, on top of the connections I’ve made during my time here.
As I’ve continued through my college career, I’ve started looking into specializing myself and trying to figure out where I want to go in the future. Currently my desired position would be a Junior Game Designer in either a AA or AAA company, working as either a System & Mechanics designer, level designer, or quest/narrative designer! I’ve had bits of experience with all three of these areas in classwork and projects I’ve worked on. For example, I worked as one of the main Systems & Mechanics designers for a collaborative project known as The Bee Game, in which I also did some level design! Outside of collaborative projects, I’ve done some level designing in UE5 for 3rd person shooter PvP maps, and have written a few short story games! I’m always looking for new opportunities, and to learn more, so hopefully I can work in these areas more in the future!
