Hello! My name is Cole Hilscher, and I am a programmer and game developer.

ABOUT ME

I have been writing code professionally for over five years. During my time as a software developer, I have worked on quality assurance, development, and live servers. I have implemented features that receive, process, store, and retrieve large amounts of user data. I have written code and used packages that communicate with external hardware and backend data storage. I have worked independently and on small and large teams, and I can efficiently work remotely or on-site.

​

I spend my free time developing video games. My games feature procedural content generation, customizable user interfaces, cosmetic unlockables, and questing and shopping systems. I pride myself on being a well-rounded developer, and so far I have implemented puzzle, platformer, combat, roguelike, multiplayer, deck-builder, and trading card game mechanics. I make my own assets for some of my games, including custom sprites, models, and animations. Between all of my game development projects, I have written and documented over 30,000 lines of code. To date, I have published two mobile games for iOs and Android devices, with over 550 total downloads.

​

When I am not coding or making games, you can find me painting, walking my dog, or playing games. I think games of all types are a wonderful way to learn, bring people together, and express creativity. I have spent the most time playing Runescape, the Pokémon series, Skyrim, Dungeons & Dragons, and Dominion. One of the accomplishments I am most proud of is  making the first video game that my parents enjoyed playing.
