JAMES SNEYD-GOMM

What would I say if someone came up to me and said " James Sneyd-Gomm tell me about yourself"?

After getting past the first level of “oh goodness this question” that I am fairly sure we all have in that situation I would have to say that I am a massive nerd who just loves to focus on everything nerdy I can get my hands on, this could be video games, table top games or just computer tech in general but I don’t think I really found my true nerdy self until I got into IT and programming. Something about coding logic always interested me and games have been a huge part of my life since I can remember being introduced to them as young as six.

So One day while talking to my brother thinking about what to do with my life I came to the realisation that I could mix my two loves of games and computers and get into programming so that’s what I did and I have never looked back.

Many different aspects of game programming fascinates me from scripting to tools but if I have to choose one thing I adore more then anything else it would have to be AI, there is something about the idea of playing against the player not too much as to force the player to always lose but not simple enough to let them win either. A rule that has always driven me is “good AI is felt but not seen where as bad AI is felt, seen and ruins the experience for everyone”

But I could talk about my self for hours so lets leave it there for now, be sure to check out my projects past and present and I hope you enjoy this wild ride of a journey with me.
