Expert Profile: Alexander Hodgkiss

Expertise:  I can answer questions in all parts of game design including creating game mechanics, game elements to keep track of, setting up an asset pipeline, and constructing a design document to plan and map out your game. I've worked on several games in various platforms on design, producing, programming, art, and audio to better understand each element and best design and plan out a game from start to finish.

Experience in the area

I've written over half a dozen Game Design Documents with some award-winning documents. Along the way I have taken part in the production phase as well to understand programming and 3D modeling.
