About Me
I’m Will Spencer, an enthusiastic Games Designer dedicated to transforming innovative ideas into immersive gaming experiences. My goal is to use my design and technical abilities to craft dream games that captivate players and transport them to new worlds. Whether that be through solo projects, or as part of a larger team.
Currently, I'm honing my skills in Computer Games Design at The University of Staffordshire in the UK. As I finish my final year of University, I'm actively working on personal projects and contract work which aim to improve specific skill areas, allowing me to grow as a designer and refine my craft.
I invite you to explore my portfolio, featuring standout projects like the 3 time 2025 TIGA award nominee, 'Crabsticks' and the 2 time 2024 / 2025 TIGA award nominee, 'Disc-Go!'. Dive into the development journeys, discover my contributions to the projects, and see how myself and my colleagues brought these exciting games to life!
