Hi, I'm Ben Townshend and I founded AJar Studio's. I have been programming with Unity3d since the summer of 2011 and have had a blast doing so. I fell in love with Unity right from the start. The best thing for me was the ease that you can pickup Unity, and how quickly I could start creating games, and that had been my dream since I was a child.
I am currently 18, and studying A-Levels at a sixth form in The Midlands, England. I'm studying Maths, Physics and Computer Science. I plan to go on too complete a degree in Video Games Programming. I aspire to work in the computer games industry, and working on great projects that the players will (hopefully) love. I want my games to make people happy and brighten their day, whether its through a gripping story, or simple yet addictive gameplay.
My main skill set is with Unity3d, using C#. I have over 3 years experience with this language and still spend everyday learning new things and researching the latest technologies or planning the next project.
I am also proficient with modern web development languages including HTML, CSS and Javascript. This includes writing server-side code using Javascript with Node.js as well as a good understanding of PHP and MySQL.
I have basic experience with C++ but I am always looking to expand my knowledge of new languages.
I also have experience with Autodesk 3ds Max, and this is what I use to create basic geometry for some of my projects, although I am no 3d artist.
For 2d work, I use Photoshop CS2, as it has been released free for commercial use because it is legacy software, but it is still a phenomenal software package.
I Started AJar Studios in January of 2014 to release my first game, No Floors, check it out in the my work section. I plan to release lots of free, and hopefully interesting projects. My main focus will be releasing games, but I may release the odd web template, or Asset Pack. Maybe even some artsy stuff using Photoshop or 3ds Max!
Please feel free to leave me some feedback, or contact me about a project. Anything you want. Just fill out the form below and I'll try to get back to you (as long as you leave a valid email).
