About Matthew

Bio

I am 36 years old and attended college for game and simulation programming. My preferred engine is Unreal engine, though I also teach others. (Godot, Unity, Pygame, Snap/Scratch, etc..) As well as Blender and Photoshop for modeling, texturing, rigging, and animating.

My main focus in these lessons will be on the design. Teaching you how to come up with, plan out, research, refine and execute your own unique ideas. You will learn to use Blueprint scripting and C++ together as tools for...

I am 36 years old and attended college for game and simulation programming. My preferred engine is Unreal engine, though I also teach others. (Godot, Unity, Pygame, Snap/Scratch, etc..) As well as Blender and Photoshop for modeling, texturing, rigging, and animating.

My main focus in these lessons will be on the design. Teaching you how to come up with, plan out, research, refine and execute your own unique ideas. You will learn to use Blueprint scripting and C++ together as tools for creating quality projects. As well as how to use the various parts of the engine, DCC software, and many advanced development/ optimization techniques.

Students of any skill level are welcome. Lessons will be tailored to individual needs and goals. I teach by explaining, demonstrating, then put the concept into practice.

I've been an avid fan of video games my whole life and since the early 2000s have been studying all aspects of game design/ development.
Over the last 8 years as a full-time developer/consultant, I've created and contributed to hundreds of projects on a variety of platforms. I've also taught workshops and guest lectured at institutions ranging from local collages to MIT. As well as having tutored several students on everything from what is a variable, to the best methods for controlling the flow and pace of gameplay in commercial projects.

If you have ever thought about making video games either professionally or as a hobby, I encourage you to reach out for a consultation or to schedule your first lesson!

C++

I went to college for game and simulation programming, and have been using the C++ coding language for nearly 10 years. I've coded render engines, game engines, and games. My primary focus while teaching C++ is to teach a concise and clean style of coding from the beginning. As well as how to properly design, plan, research, debug and refactor, to produce performant, manageable code. Any skill level is welcome and lessons are customized to fit the needs and goals of the individual. Everything from how data is stored to using templates, lambdas, and virtual functions to build professional quality projects. Students with game projects will learn specialized techniques for creating performant, high-end, real-time applications.

Computer Gaming

I went to college for game and simulation programming in 2011. I've created games using several game engines, in python and C++. I have been primarily using Unreal Engine for the past 3 years, in conjunction with modeling, texturing, and animation software. I have worked on every aspect of the development process, from conceptual design to asset creation to publishing, and am eager to share what I have learned!

Finally found the instructor I’ve needed for my Unreal project!

After searching for weeks I’ve finally found an incredible tutor! Matthew really knows the ins and outs of game design and is willing to tailor his lessons to fit your plan. He’s a great help for organizing large-scale projects or creating intricate mechanics. Already booking more lessons in advance.

Knowledgeable and patient

We’ve only had 1 lesson so far and he was very informative and super helpful. We focused on unreal engine. I’m looking forward to my next lesson. Thank you, Matthew!

Just what I needed!

As a seasoned developer, I already know a lot of concepts. Matthew quickly assessed and caught on to what I know and where my gaps are, and is helping me come up to speed with Unreal Engine dev in the most efficient way!

Answered all my questions, very knowledgeable.

Matthew is no-nonsense, he knows Unreal Engine, and he can help you! He answered all my questions, he speaks (native?) English and immediately understood the questions I was asking.
