My Name is
Cain Wild
I’ve been passionate about games for as long as I can remember, but my journey into game design truly began in 2018. Since then, I’ve been captivated by the art and science behind creating interactive experiences, which led me to specialize in Unreal Engine visual scripting as a technical designer. I’ve recently completed my Master’s degree in Game Design and co-founded Shaded Valley, an indie studio where we’re bringing innovative ideas to life. With six years of academic experience, I’m also working to expand my programming language skills to complement my expertise in visual scripting and continue pushing the boundaries of game design.
