Josh Smith
Hello and Welcome to my Itch.io page!
As a relatively new developer, I'm excited to showcase a curated selection of my game projects (Subject to change!). All made in Unity with C# as the primary language. My emphasis with all the below titles lies in Game Design, Animations and Programming. All game assets are sourced from wonderful artists that will be credited below!
I personally come from a background in Banking and Finance with some stops in IT and Fraud Analysis (All of that was within a decade at the same company!). After the birth of my daughter (Hazel of HazelNutz fame, 2018), I was able to re-experience the joy of curating experiences for others that I had in my early childhood (pre-trauma). Since then, I have re-dedicated myself to contributing to our wonderful Gaming industry to help others feel the joy and wonder that comes with games!

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the gaming adventures!
I welcome any feedback on the titles! I intend to iterate on the top project first, then it will replace the one below when I start a new one, and so forth!
Please stop by my LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/HazelNutz/) to connect with me! I'd love to take part in a GameJam, or be employed by your company (For real on that last one)! :D
