Here, I worked on titles called Everywhere and Mindseye. I worked with Unreal Engine 5 using Lua on a multiplayer game, with a focus on implementing gameplay systems, minigames and world/server traversal. These systems are complex and some, including the minigames, are programmed in Lua. I was responsible for all the minigames present in Mindseye.

Hi, my name is Benjamin Gatt. I am a Game Programmer with 5 years of experience in the game industry. I currently work at Hyper Luminal Games.
I graduated with a Masters in Games Development from Abertay University in Dundee and a First Class (Hons.)
