Hi! My name is Zach Strauss and I'm a Game Designer. I recently graduated Sheridan College in the Honours Bachelor of Game Design program. I've been playing games ever since I could hold a controller. I spend a lot of my free time playing games and studying what makes gameplay loops compelling.

​

I often play games with my friends and love the social experience created by games. My learning process surrounding game design has been heavily rooted in playing a lot of games of varying genres, studying the art of making games. Games as a medium has a certain dynamic that isn't seen in other creative mediums and to me, they are the best medium to facilitate interactivity.

​

I love action-adventure games and games with competitive environments. Generally speaking, I will play games from just about any genre, but I like multiplayer games because I'm very competitively driven. My favourite games range from the likes of God Of War (2018) to What Remains of Edith Finch. I've also spent hours upon hours playing Rainbow Six Siege and Overwatch.

​

When I'm not playing games, I like to hangout with friends, listen to music, and mess around in Adobe Illustrator. I also like to play hockey when the weather allows for skating. I played organized hockey from novice to midget in my local league.
