Reece Geofroy
Hi, I’m Reece!
I have been tinkering with pixel art and game development since I was 16.
Growing up in a large family; video games were a huge part of my childhood. Inspired by my older siblings trying to create my own games, I eventually made it my goal to one day start my own game studio and develop video games for a living. Fast forward to the present day, I am the CEO of Boundless Games, creating modernized-pixelated games influenced from the games I grew up with.
I have also garnered a fanbase for myself online through my game development YouTube channel, where I discusses the realities of full-time game development, help beginner pixel artists find their way, and teaches valuable lessons that I’ve learned from my own past mistakes and current obstacles.
