Game Design Portfolio

I'm a systems game designer with over six years of experience making games. I'm a T-shaped designer skilled in systems, level, UX, and UI design. I'm also skilled in programming (C#), 3D art, and pixel art.

Novel gameplay experiences are my passion, designing games that are playful and focus on player enjoyment in the moment is what drives me to create.

Whatever I make I'm always looking for ways to improve fun in the moment; to make simply interacting with the game world fun.

Seal Ordeal

(2023)

I worked directly with the games lead designer to implement and integrate the games systems. I rapidly prototyped systems conceptualised by the lead designer with C#. Using an iterative process we improved the prototype using 3rd party and in-house playtesting data to inform each iteration.

Systems of note that I worked on include the bounce system, shop system, and level select system as well as many more.

WhiteFall

(2022)

I worked on level design and level block outs on this VR project. The levels I designed are the landing area, the cave, and the cave-to-city transition area.

Working in feature teams with artists and programmers, I built and designed the levels with their input using their knowledge to account for art and technical needs within the design process.

Besides video games, I like to spend time playing tabletop RPGs such as D&D and Warhammer 40K. My favourite part of the hobby is the creative aspect. I like to make my own minis and game terrain using kit bashed parts or sculpting from scratch. I'm also a huge fan of scale model kits in general.

I’m George Chandler, a systems designer. I think of myself as a jack of all trades, I enjoy delving into all aspects of game development, coming at it with a holistic frame of mind.

I got started playing games on the PS2 with the original Lego Star Wars and Crash Nitro Kart soon followed by Spore and the endless hordes of Flash games on PC.

The games I love most are what I consider to be playful. Games that focus on enjoyment in the moment where the simple act of interacting with the game is fun. Trying to capture that playfulness is what drives me to make games.

(2024)

DiggyDiggy is a game I developed for the Playdate console, a unique bit of game hardware featuring an analogue crank as an input device.

I chose to develop a game for this console because I am interested in the designs non-standard inputs can lead to. I also wanted to challenge myself to create something for hardware that featured similar limitations to older consoles such as the Atari 2600.
