HELLO I'M BRYN JENKINS
ABOUT
I am studying to be a game designer specialising in UX. I'm interested in games that give players a different experience. I'm dedicated to completing tasks and working with others to achieve goals. I'm someone you can count on for getting work done.
​
I have worked on many games where my role and responsibilities have changed. I have experience as a Lead Designer, Story Writer, UX/UI Designer, Level Designer and Narrative Designer. In every role, I was able to deliver amazing results.
SKILLS
What programs I can use
Ink Game
For a university project, I worked on the UI and Visual Feedback For the game. I used a combination of Illustrator and After Effects to create the visual design and animations. The game's style is inspired by origami and manga panels, so I created a design that emulates that style.
The pause menu showcasing the manga style inspiration and a slash over which button you are hovering.
Other options I made using both Illustrator and After Effects which was ported and scaled to the screen
A simple layout to show many star you collected in a level and how fast you finished the level. The buttons on the bottom to allow the player to retry the level
I used camera shakes and a red fade where the centre of the fade is opaque where the edge is the darkest so that the player can still see what in front of them and can also see that they have been hit. There is also a border of blood to show that they have been hit as well
Trash World
Trash World is a game book inspired by using the FATE Accelerated systems to create a unique world where a mysterious portals keep opening up from different worlds and brings in a lot of trash.
For this game book I wrote the classes and game rules and system and created an adventure book if you want to play a campaign in this world. It has heist, dances and a big cheese to steal.
