Hi there,

My name is Ben (MaccyGames) and I am a Video Game Developer. Consider this page a portfolio of some of the work I have done in my career.

On the right, you will see my personal projects which where created for my university degree, game jams and for fun.

Below you will see the first commercially released game that I was a part of. I am currently working for Surgent Studios as a Junior Programmer and In April 2024 the studio released its first game: Tales of Kenzera: Zau.

Zau is an immersive action-adventure game set in the fantastical world of Kenzera, a realm teeming with magic, mystery, and ancient lore. Players assume the role of "Zau", a young, skilled shaman warrior who embarks on an epic journey to bring back his late father.

Throughout the development of Zau I personally worked on several aspects of the game, from implementing the final boss of the game to adding the logic that triggers achievements being unlocked.

Working on the final boss is my proudest achievement in my career so far. The feeling I get from seeing players struggle and finally overcome his move set brings me an immense amount of joy. Here is a video of someone facing the final boss. (spoiler alert!)

I appreciate you taking the time to explore my portfolio. My journey in game development has been fuelled by a lifelong passion for video games. Thank you!
