Hi there!
My name is Owen Brecknock, a fresh graduate from the Honours Bachelor of Game Design Program at Sheridan College. I have always had a passion for games, so please feel free to reach out somewhere like LinkedIn!
My Story
My pup StanLee
Video games were a large part of my childhood, and being able to enter this industry is nothing short of a dream come true. (Fun fact about me, I learned how to read from playing Magic the Gathering) To this day, I believe that games are one of the most evocative forms of media because they let consumers shape their own interactive experience. There's no right way to enjoy games, whether that's making new friends through survival CO-OP or journeying through a breathtaking story of grief and loss. My hope is to one day be on the other side of the screen, crafting these immersive adventures.
From my studies and personal projects, I've picked up a strong understanding of Game and Level Design principles to bring an idea from concept to conclusion. Experiences such as producing within an agile workflow and running telemetry-driven playtests allow me to ensure that the team functions effectively, our ludonarrative is clear, and the play space is accessible. I'm constantly looking to draw inspiration from other works, actively seeking new ways to broaden my understanding of how to design for games.
I'm a fluent English speaker and have a basic understanding of French. I'm willing to relocate, and I'm open to a variety of job opportunities.
