I’m guessing your first question is

“Why the angry ball?”

It was late one night and I was asked by a friend to model the angry react from facebook. As a joke I decided to make it as quickly as possible with absolutely no reference to what it actually looked like, this was the result and it’s been my go-to profile picture for basically everything ever since.

 About Me:

My name is Wain Nisbet and I live in the UK. I enjoy creating and playing games, ever since I was young I drew up different areas and characters for games I played and it has always been a strong passion for me.

When I got to 16 I decided to join a course for game development at college. I did this because at the time it was the only way of properly learning the basic rules of game design and development.

I was let go from my job working in a brickworks after 2 years due to management deciding to lower the production rates and so I spent 2 years using the money I had earnt to create my own game as a pure passion project. I am proud of the results but strive to greatly improve on what was created before. The process taught me a LOT about what goes into creating assets for a game, such as how to best lay out sprite sheets and textures, all the rules for creation of game-ready 3D models and the difference between different 3D file types.

I also learnt how to manage my time by creating and following a set schedule while also leaving enough room to move things around if they end up taking more time than expected.

The aspect of game development I am most focused on is the visual designs for 3D models and 2D Sprites.

What I like:

I enjoy a wide range of games including FPS, Action games, Roguelikes, but I have always had a strong focus on MMO games. Not always the traditional Idea of an MMO either.

One of the biggest games for me growing up was Toontown. Toontown opened imagination like a bubble and my mind was constantly thinking up the possibilities that could come out of the future of the game. The game may have been shut down in 2013 but to this day there are still fan made servers that continue to grow the game and add the kinds of things I used to think about back when I played as a kid.

My personal favourite genre is story-based JRPGs, for example my #1 favourite game of all time is Persona 3. That game completely changed my idea of what story in a game could be, all the characters have their own motives and feel, well, alive! The plot threads throughout the game and the STRONG connection every thread has to the games main theme of coming to terms with Fate really inspired me.

 Games I like:

Persona 3, My favourite game of all time. It's not "perfect" by any means, there are some dated issues with the gameplay (Atlus please remaster it i'm begging) but even then it's perfectly fine for experiencing the story the game has to tell, which i

Persona 3, My favourite game of all time. It's not "perfect" by any means, there are some dated issues with the gameplay (Atlus please remaster it i'm begging) but even then it's perfectly fine for experiencing the story the game has to tell, which is the strongest i've experienced in a game ever.

999 was one of the first games with a heavy focus on story that I played. I was initially sceptical if i'd like a game that was mostly reading but it introduced me to the world of visual novels and has an absolutely fantastic atmosphere and a soundtr

I have nearly 2000 hours in final fantasy 14 playing it over 5 years. It's a game I play to relax and if i'm ever lacking something to do I know I can just open it up and run a few dungeons. But obviously it is ALSO a jrpg with one of the strongest l

I have nearly 2000 hours in final fantasy 14 playing it over 5 years. It's a game I play to relax and if i'm ever lacking something to do I know I can just open it up and run a few dungeons. But obviously it is ALSO a jrpg with one of the strongest long-term stories in a game to date. I used to play WoW but ever since trying ff14 5 years ago I've never looked back.

I know this is a crazy controversial pick because it's not silent hill 2 but hear me out. Personally I think as a horror game, Silent hill 3 just feels way scarier. The atmosphere, designs, combat, everything mixes together to keep you on edge. One of my favourite parts is after you get into the subway section you have a LONG stretch of game where there are no npcs, no dialogue or anything. it's just you and the monsters as you slowly make your way home. It's a perfect horror section in my opinion.

Yakuza is a franchise that I got into a couple years ago and I have now played and completed yakuza 0 to yakuza 6. These games are amazing at letting you step into the shoes of a badass yakuza who will not stop for anyone while also having a ridiculo

Yakuza is a franchise that I got into a couple years ago and I have now played and completed yakuza 0 to yakuza 6. These games are amazing at letting you step into the shoes of a badass yakuza who will not stop for anyone while also having a ridiculous amount of side content and mini-games. (The karaoke is the best part)

Gravity rush is beautiful with one of the best art directions i've ever seen in a game. I wish more games would be as creative and out-there with the world design as gravity rush does. This games style is like nothing else and it's gameplay and world

Gravity rush is beautiful with one of the best art directions i've ever seen in a game. I wish more games would be as creative and out-there with the world design as gravity rush does. This games style is like nothing else and it's gameplay and world is completely it's own, with a cryptic yet engaging lore and a focus on exploring the world far beyond what you'd expect.

TF2 is still my favourite multiplayer FPS. The game is so satisfying to play and feel like you're getting better at with extremely well designed classes that each have an insanely high skill ceiling. If someone has played their main character for tho

TF2 is still my favourite multiplayer FPS. The game is so satisfying to play and feel like you're getting better at with extremely well designed classes that each have an insanely high skill ceiling. If someone has played their main character for thousands of hours you can absolutely tell.

Corporate clash proved to me that nothing is impossible with a dedicated team. The team behind the game have rewrote the original code behind toontown to the point it may as well be an entirely different game, and it is all the better for it. They have done so many things previously believed by the community to be impossible and in an unbelievably short time span. After a rough start it's done nothing but grow and I am eagerly awaiting future updates and content.
