Biography

My name is Mathias Kweku Asamoah, born, raised and might probably die here in Ghana if you don't offer me a chance. Before I dive in I just want you to know I found out about the term 'level manager' in a talk at a recent games conference and it was such a serendipitous moment for me since this was the accumulation of all my game development skills. This was the light bulb moment of my career and I dropped out of college to give this a shot! Seven years ago I picked up Unity and never looked back. I was a young boy in high school who just wanted to make some fun game levels to show off to my friends. Little did I know this would set off an entire passion that would consume me for the rest of my life. I began creating games in my spare time, but was continually frustrated by the lack of resources I had at my disposal. Despite my enthusiasm, my games never quite made it off the ground, and throughout my solo development career, I have never had a game take off. Demo after demo, failure after failure, I finally decided to go all in and give this a shot after my second year of university. I dropped out to found Unchained Universe with my best friend and we have tried different genres and styles, but nothing seemed to be able to capture the hearts of players. I then came to the realization I'm a level manager, not a game designer. Give me an idea or a fleshed out concept and I'll give you the best level possible. I tried this with Unchained and voila! It was all over the web getting heaps of praise. It was even listed on the top 7 African projects to look out for on Squidmag here: https://squidmag.ink/african-creative-projects-2023/ In all I think I might not be a good solo developer, but give me the guidance and a map and I'll bring you the treasure.
