Hello Everyone!
My name is Noureldin Kamel. I am a 4th year Computer Science student with an interest in Video game programming and development.
I am interested in this course due to the wide variety of methods that multimedia content could be utilized, both in my studies and in my future career in Video games.
I am originally from Egypt and take great pride in my history and culture, with both of them being direct inspirations for a lot of my work.

Hey Nour!
A fellow Software Student! Nice!!!
What are your favourite video games!? And what motivated you to go into game dev?
Hey Nima! My favourite video games have to be Pokemon Ruby, The Last of Us, God of War (the new one, haven’t been able to play the old ones unfortunately), and Baldur’s Gate 3! Seeing the quality of video games nowadays along with the fact that video games are a fantastic outlet for creativity, and the fact that I have been playing video games since I was 6, were definitely contributing factors to me wanting to become a game dev.
