WHO AM I?
Hey there!
​
My name is Corey Horne, also known as NotCyan online. I'm a freelance game developer who is currently studying a Bachelor of Digital Design (Game Design) at the University of Canberra in Brisbane.
WHAT DO I DO?
Since a young age, I've loved technology, spending hours a day fiddling with various software. Whether it be games, art, or videos, I've at some point dabbled with everything.
What a enjoy most however is certainly game development. I like to view myself as a generalist, being capable of fulfilling any role for a project.
MOTIVATION
To further learn the tools to translate my imagination into reality; to create an escape for others and offer my own expression of ideas to like-minded people. The thought of creating my own world, however big or small, never fails to spark a little excitement in me
