My name is Martin Andersson

I love everything games! I have been making games close to a decade and im never stopping!

Throughout my career I have been challenged in all manner of programming problems-

Fixing animation issues on a mobile game where the characters have 1000's of animations.
Battling through compliance issues, making sure UI and controls are accessible for all PlayStation versions and countries.
Explaining to my students the age old question- what's the difference between a pointer and a reference?

The Game Assembly was by far the hardest challange. When i studied at LBS in Halmstad and learned programming i thought "Damn im the absolute best at this". It only took about 2 weeks at TGA until i was deeply humbled.

I learned important skills, C#, Unity, C++, Engine development, Data structures & Algorithms, Linear algebra.

But arguably most important thing I learned were the soft skills. Working with a diverse group of people over many disciplines really taught me that you can go far alone, but furthest when you work together.

During my time at TGA we had feedback sessions, and the most common feedback i got was that i was quiet and reserved. This critique came from the angle that "We want your opinion".

Even though it made me self conscious of how socially distant I was. It made me flattered to know that my opinion mattered.

After all these years, I still keep the notes of feedback my teammates gave me.
