Heya! I’m Cory O’Brien, a programmer and indie game dev living in Cincinnati, Ohio. I was born and raised on electronic media. Some of my earliest memories come from making up game worlds on my kitchen floor out of popsicle sticks and sticky notes. Now, I continue the legacy of the younger me and am studying game development and computer science full-time at Miami University.
My areas of focus are primarily game development, game design, and audio design. Some of my favorite games and inspirations are Inscryption, Hi-Fi Rush, Ratchet and Clank, and The Binding of Isaac. My favorite game experiences are ones that build inventive and unique gameplay systems that follow the “easy to learn, hard to master” mentality (yes, I am addicted to roguelikes). Bonus points for games with punchy sound design!
When I’m not busy working on games or other projects, I’m out playing bass guitar for my rock band, joining my friends for dungeon crawls in D&D, or watching the Bengals find new ways to disappoint their fans.
All the best, and thanks for checking out my stuff!
