Jon Clark is a 6-year developer-producer, excited to return to the 猫咪视频app Guildhall family as an Adjunct Lecturer for Team Game Production.
Jon’s career in games began with founding a wayward mobile software development company with two close friends, and accelerated after graduating from the Guildhall with a Master of Interactive Technology focusing in game production. Since graduating, he has had the opportunity to produce games on a number of different platforms and genres, including worldwide mobile games, VR titles, and flatscreen console/PC. Some of his shipped titles includeNew Super Lucky’s Tale on Nintendo Switch,Star Child Demo Disc Experience for PlayStation VR,Lucky's Tale on the Oculus Rift, and numerous live releases on the PeopleFun portfolio of products (such asWordscapes,Blockscapes, and more).
