Sam Karlen's Projects

Sam Karlen

Hello, and welcome to my portfolio! I've been developing my skills as a game designer since around 2018, working on a few projects out of class during high school and my career at High Point University. As a recent graduate of High Point University I've found myself working to further develop my skills in Unreal 5 and further my understanding of tools like Blender. On this site you will find a selection of the previous projects I've worked on and the work I've done for those projects.

My Work Showcase

Here is a selection of some of the work I'm more proud of and provides a representation of my skills as a game designer. Throughout my different projects I have taken roles programming, modeling, designing UI elements, and working with engines like Unreal 4, 5, and Unity. So far I've worked on 3 major projects, which can all be downloaded from itch.io and can be played on PC. While not all finished, a selection of screenshots below show some of these games and the Projects link will take you to my portfolio.
