Paul Thompson
Software Engineer | Game developer
My name is Paul Thompson, I am an artist interested in developing software solutions and interactive experiences. I own a small video production company in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and my recent studies have led to a deepening skill set that now includes Full Stack Web Development and computer science.
C is my favorite programming language, but I use Lua most often when prototyping ideas.
I am analytical, professional, and highly motivated to learn and integrate with a team focused on a digital engineering ecosystem.
My remake of the 1982 Williams Electronics game, Joust. Built in Love2d with Lua. My version comes with 25 waves of enemies, a two-player mode, and a leaderboard!

Tashio Tempo is my new game inspired by Link's Awakening on Game Boy. It is a top-down game filled with adventure, magic, and music. I released the current version of the game featuring gecko entities, spell-casting abilities, and several screens to explore!
Tak is a board game from the novel "The Wise Man's Fear", created by James Ernest and Patrick Rothfuss. I programmed my own version of the game in Love2d and Lua. It is a competitive board game for two players, so grab a friend and let the game commence!
