Brad Dixon

Game Design Freshman – 2026

Brad Dixon is a freshman Game Designer. He enjoys coding the most, followed by game design and narrative writing for games. One field he wants to delve further into is sound design. He likes playing any kind of game with friends, but his favorite types of games are cooperative or sandbox games. Clubs he is in are the Activities Council of Bradley University (ACBU) and The Edge. He is an executive board member in both of these organizations. He also joined the student board for the Interactive Media department and is also working on a 2D fighting game called Seekers with other students from his department. He hopes to eventually work on games that multiple people can use as entertainment and a way to deal with stress.

Arcana Arcade as UI Programmer

Arcana Arcade is a physics-based, player-vs-player touchtable experience where players use their fingers to draw out symbols pertaining to spells, and then fling those spells to cast them onto the board. Players start by selecting which faction they will battle as, with each faction controlling two elements: Fire & Lightning, and Ice & Wind. These spells can be cast to: damage the opponent player, set up defenses, or create special effects. Players will try to deal as much damage during their playtime in order to defeat their opponent.
