ABOUT ME
MY WORK
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
I am Donovan Rennaker. Video games have been a passion for me since I was young. My interests lie in first person shooters, but I am proficient in virtual reality, arcade-style video games, action/adventure video games. I am proficient in level design, game modding, UI/UX design, and game mechanics ultimately for the best gameplay experience.
My work consists of academic projects and personal projects in which I have taken skills learned in my undergraduate studies and applied them or found how to learn and master skills on my own to put toward these projects. Please feel free to view my portfolio.

I am a history nerd. The historical aspect of war has always interested me. I joined the military in 2012 as part of the Army National Guard Reserves. I enlisted because I was moved by the men who sacrificed themselves during World War II. I was honorably discharged for medical reasons but wanted to keep up with military/combat strategy. After playing Call of Duty: World At War, I was hooked on the idea of creating historical fiction video games.
