Projects made by: Zac Herriot – Programmer, 3D animator, Game Developer

Hello there! My name is Zac and I’m a Degree level Graduate in ‘Computer Games Development’ from the ‘University of the west of Scotland’ as of 22/04/2025. Since then I have been developing my knowledge to reach my long-time goal of being a part of the Games Industry. 

The I’ve aquired skills in useing a wide veriety of programming languages such as Html, JavaScript and C++ to name a few. 
I have the most experience in using the game development language ‘Unity’ and have also got experience making 3D animations using ‘Maya’ and ‘3DS Max’. 

I have been searching for junior Unreal Engine game Developer job roles so I can get my foot in the door of the game industry and work from the ground up to improve myself and my knowledge of the craft, not only in programming, but also 3D animation, level Design, and anything else I can learn along the way to make myself a more valuable member of the team. 

Personal Background

My journey started way back in 2013 when I had tried out my other interests after leaving highschool. After trying out my interest in video games by doing a course on game design for beginners at Brunston college in Edinburgh. I discovered I had a talent for programming and was encouraged by my lecturers to continue this path.  
All these years later with many hurdles to overcome due to health, I have finally achieved my goal of getting a Degree level grade in Computer Games Development.  
 
On my journey I have seen many individuals with a keen understanding for programming languages way above my own and have used these experiences to push myself ever harder, igniting a desire to succeed that has led me to producing work with more extensive effort than the times before.  
 
My hunger to produce quality and self-improvement has even led me to producing game projects in both ‘Unity’ and ‘Unreal Engine’. Includeing ‘3D Animation’ work way above what was required of me in my classes and I look forward to doing the same in whichever studio opens its doors to this aspiring Game Developer. 

Personal Game Interests

I never had internet until I was 16, and that is when I discovered online gaming among other people, the first online game I played was ‘Reign of Kings’, a sandbox survival pvp game where the main feature was to take control of a static throne, which would allow you to put a tax on the server and name it, giving the game an objective.  
  
Ever since playing ‘Reign of kings’ I’ve had a huge interest in the new ideas and achievements game developers have come up with and done over the years.  
 
Whether it be a new mechanic or feature, my eyes widen thinking how no one beforehand had thought of a mechanic, or how far Technology has come to allow us to achieve bigger and better projects.  
  
From then to now, and far into the future, I’ll still be keeping my eyes out for new games that bring new ideas to the table of the games industry and Imagine what can be achieved if they were to be put together.
