Hello! My name's Ben Samara.
I programmed my first game for a science fair when I was in middle school in 2009.
I graduated from Quinsigamond Community College in May 2020 with an Associate's Degree in Interactive Media - Game Design.
I have spent my free time researching game design, art, and programming since around 2015, as well as learning various related tools.
I have worked as a Software Engineering Contractor for Cisco, with a focus on deployments and documentation from 2022 to 2024.
In 2025, I began a double major bachelor's degree in Computer Science (B.S) and Game Development (B.S.) at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and am currently enrolled there.
I find all genres of games interesting to design for, but I am most interested in role-playing games, strategies games and I have an interest in smaller, indie studios.
Lately, I have been into the unique play experiences of tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons and Pathfinder. I'm also a big fan of open source software like Blender and have been
using the Godot Game Engine for several years now.
Thank you for your interest and your time.
