CAMDEN PETTIJOHN

Game Designer, Developer, Artist, Musician

Hi! My name is Camden. I have a Bachelor's in Computer Science with a focus in Game Design from the University of California, Davis.

Since 2016, I have been designing, coding, and creating art, music, and SFX for all of my video games. After years of experience, I even became the President of the Davis Game Development and Arts Club where I taught hundreds of students the fundamentals of game design.

I love making games, teaching others, and working in teams to make something truly special. To learn more about me, click the Resume GIF above or scroll down to see a handful of my projects.

Thank you, and I hope we can talk soon!

MY SQUAD

In late 2019, I gathered my friends to form FUNI STUDIOS, an independent squad of talented artists to make games! The members include:

Camden Pettijohn

With a bachelor's in Computer Science, years of indie game dev experience, and an unhealthy amount of cups of coffee at his desk, Camden is ready to design, code, and paint games!

Specialties: art, coding, game design

Grant Gelardi

Years of pressing buttons and making noises on a computer has interfaced Grant with an 808 drum machine... now half human, half midi controller, they create banger beats and SFX

Specialties: song composition, FL Studio, SFX

Athena Sullins

After listening to the Owl City albums for the 5000th time, Athena has ascended to become a being of pure melody and now graces our ears with gorgeous tunes (in addition to designing games)

Specialties: Bitwig, game design, being an Owl Citizen

??? Vi ???

Not much is known about this entity... except that they came up with the group name "FUNI STUDIOS" so that's pretty cool

Specialties: having cracked ideas, playtesting, feedback
