KYLE HANSELMAN
Video Game Level Designer

Hello! I'm Kyle Hanselman, and I'm a big fan of games. I realized this passion around 2008 when I made my Steam account and gained access to hundreds of titles. This obsession grew later, in 2009, when I began to make mods on ModDB.com, where I established myself firmly in the community. I wanted to improve my understanding of game design and went for a Game Development degree at SCAD. Here, I gained an academic understanding of design to accompany my practical knowledge from years of modding; I still have a long way to go in becoming the best game developer out there, and I'm always excited to improve and move forward.
​
If I could pick a specific passion, level design would be it. I've been making levels ever since I started taking an interest in game development and have yet to get bored. Something about handcrafting the player experience makes it extremely rewarding, especially when you hear a test player laugh or screech or suddenly get silent and focused, letting you know that what you've created has an impact.
​
That said, please don't make me choose a specific passion or role. I love game, world, narrative, and all other things design. What about art? Yea, I love to make 3D environments as well. What can I say? I'm greedy.
