About Me

My name is Marshall Uppill. I have recently graduated from an Advanced Diploma in Professional Game Development at AIE Adelaide. I got into Game Development because I have always had an interest in Video Games, and I decided in Year 11 that I wanted to learn how to create games.

 

My main interests are in Narrative Design, Lead Design and Production Management. I really got into Narrative Design because I absolutely adore different games lore. My favorites include the Destiny franchise, and the Uncharted series.
