Luke Whited

Technical Designer

I design and build games, from Unreal Engine systems to tabletop rules. REDSHIFT is my game. I came up with the idea and built the 2025 Early Access release alone, then led a team at my studio, Gravity Interactive, to its 1.0 launch on Steam, where it reached the top of the New and Trending free games. I also worked on Space Boss for Technergetics and the U.S. Space Force, and led the tabletop RPG Skyfarer, published on DriveThruRPG. I’m finishing my M.S. in Game Design and Development at RIT (4.0 GPA).

I like designing around one unusual rule. In REDSHIFT you close your eyes to see a hidden layer of the world, and in Photophobia you see by making sound.

When I’m not making games, I’m playing them: Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, and the original 1979 Atari Asteroids cocktail cabinet I grew up on at home. I also played first violin in the RIT orchestra, and I’m an SSI and PADI Advanced Open Water diver.

Skills: C++, C, Unreal Engine 5 (C++ and Blueprints), SQF (Arma 3 modding), JavaScript, HTML/CSS, WebGL, Git

Currently: finishing Flash Drive, my RIT capstone, and my M.S. Open to full-time Technical Designer roles from summer 2027, anywhere.
