MAXWELL BEESON
GAME DESIGNER & PROGRAMMER
ABOUT ME
Welcome to my portfolio! I'm Maxwell Beeson, a passionate game designer and programmer based near Reading, UK. I have interests especially in horror games and Esports titles, although I have used my time at the University of York to explore other areas of game development to widen my knowledge of the industry.
​
​
Outside of game development, I also have major interests in Esports and music. I participate in tournaments such as the official FaceIt League for Overwatch 2 (having won Open Division in Season 2). I also am a member of various bands and have played gigs in the York and Leeds area.
