Hello, I'm Vivraan.

Ahoy​,​ future game creators! I’m Shivam (but you can call me Shiv!)​,​ and I am so excited to be your guide on this adventure into building your own video games. For more than six years​,​ I’ve been a professional game developer​,​ and I absolutely love bringing imaginative worlds to life. My journey has been a blast! I've helped create everything from exciting PC war games to the fun mobile games you can't put down. I’m especially proud of a game I co-created called "1971: Indian Naval Front." It was a huge honor to receive an Epic Megagrant (from the makers of Fortnite!) to help build it​,​ and we were thrilled when it won the 2023 Game of the Year Award at the India Game Developer Conference. Now​,​ I want to share the skills and secrets I learned along the way directly with you! My passion for games goes beyond just my professional work. I earned a Master of Science in Game Programming from Kingston University in London and have had the privilege of teaching game development workshops to students in both India and the UK. I'm always learning and will soon be starting a PhD to explore new ways we can create and interact with technology. There is truly nothing that brings me more joy than seeing a student's eyes light up when they bring their own idea to life on the screen. My goal is to give you the knowledge and skills I've gained so you can experience that same incredible feeling of fulfillment. Together​,​ we’ll unlock your creativity and learn how to build the games you’ve always dreamed of. Let’s get started!
