About Me

WHO I AM

I’m Ashley — a solo game developer from North Wales with a passion for prototyping and bringing ideas to life. I’ve been building in Unreal Engine for years, and I love every part of the process — from scribbling ideas on paper to shipping something real that people can actually play.

I shipped Hellbreach: Vegas entirely solo — every Blueprint, every system, every line of logic. That experience taught me what it really takes to go from concept to commercial release, and gave me a deep understanding of the full development pipeline.

When I’m not working on my own projects, I love helping other developers solve hard problems and bring their visions to life. If you’ve got an idea, I want to help you build it.
