Bramwell Williams
Hi! I'm Bramwell Williams, a professional software engineer who worked on communication technology at Cisco and the IOS release of Rome Total War.
I started using Godot in 2017 and have been in love with the engine ever since, using it for over a dozen game jams and way more personal projects.
The update to Godot 4 made the 3D side of the engine a force to be reckoned with considering the engine's lightweight size, and being open source is a huge boon, with a terrific community to boot. I am really passionate about Godot and hope you come to feel as strongly as I do about the little blue robot 🤖!
For the last three years I have been a full time gamedev educator producing educational content for GDQuest, my own Godot course since Godot 4 first became available in Alpha, and now for Gamedev.tv!
This trajectory was born of a lifelong love of games in all forms and a desire to create wonderful stories while thoroughly enjoying teaching and breaking complex problems into manageable chunks.
