Who am I?
Hi, I'm Harry, also known as Srcyte (/ˈsəːkɪt/). I'm currently studying game design at university and look forward to working in the industry in what I enjoy most. In my free time, I like to make videos and stream as personal projects to advance my skill set.
I owe all my passion for games to two people, Gordon Freeman and my father. If it weren't for those late nights of watching my dad play Half-Life endlessly to share his interests with me, I don't know where id be. I hold those memories very close, which is the biggest reason why I'm doing any of this.
Top 10 Games
As games are a big part of my personality, I'd love to share the ones I have enjoyed the most, which are the driving points for many of my designs.
Minecraft
Half-Life
Skyrim
Portal
Bioshock
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Bonelab
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
Cyberpunk 2077
Grand Theft Auto V
I lean more towards sandbox games that allow me to do what I like. When that isn't an option in games, I like to take that freedom myself and speedrun titles using unintended methods.

Glasgow Gaelic School / Higher Education
Both my sibling and I attended a Scottish Gaelic School where we were taught most of our subjects in Gaelic. This posed some challenges during my higher education that I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere, but I feel I've come out of it better because of it.
