My name is Nicholas Junkas and I’m a senior at Bradley University majoring in Game Design and minoring in Computer Science. Through my time at Bradley, I have been involved in many different projects and collaborated with a wide range of disciplines. Currently, I am working within a team of 26 people to create a project titled SoulSync City.

As a designer, I am always striving towards excellent communication, attention to detail, and a strong problem-solving mindset. I believe in collaborative discourse among team members, but also leaving ego at the front door. Rather than solely analyze what popular games are doing, I also attempt at examining why. By dissecting elements that contribute to fun in games, I aim to create something fresh and innovative. Furthermore, although I’m open to exploring any type of game, I particularly like games that focus on player agency and emergent gameplay.
