About Me
My name's Rolandson Thomas.
I'm an enthusiastic and ambitious Games Designer with a general focus on Gameplay and Systems design.
Whether I'm part of a team or I'm leading one, I'll simply never get tired of collaborating, sharing & learning everything I can with colleagues on projects in order to make the kind of immersive experiences that people just can't wait to get lost in.
