On the team

Oliver Neal

Gameplay Programmer (he/him)

Programming Department

I'm a games developer working in Unity and C#. I graduated from Teesside University in July 2026 with First Class Honours in BSc (Hons) Games Development, where my final-year project won the Best Games Programming award, and I joined Shiverbug Studios as a gameplay programmer straight after.

At Shiverbug I write the gameplay: player systems, AI, and the general plumbing that makes the game feel good to play. I also built this website, and I co-run our social media with Madi Freck.

I love automation games, tactical shooters like Valorant, and a good co-op session. Beyond playing them, I really enjoy game design itself and thinking about what makes games fun.
