Joshua Higgs

Game Developer & Designer, Teacher

I'm a passionate game developer who thrives on creativity. Whether I'm sketching character concepts or designing gameplay mechanics that keep players hooked, I love the craft. Over the past seven years, I've honed my skills in game design, development, and team collaboration, blending technical know-how with imaginative storytelling. From prototyping enemy AI to building modular systems in Unreal, I love solving tricky problems like making a boss fight feel fair but challenging or ensuring level flow feels both intuitive and surprising. Whether I'm leading creative projects or diving into the code, I'm dedicated to building player-focused experiences that captivate and inspire. Outside of code, you'll often find me sketching ideas for new worlds, debating lore and mechanics with friends (sometimes sparked by a D&D session), or experimenting with rapid prototypes just to see what sticks. I'm always looking for new ways to push my skills and expand my knowledge—because for me, creating games isn't just a job; it's an opportunity to bring ideas to life and craft moments that players remember long after they've put down the controller.
