Hey there!

My name is Kyle Mays! I’m a 29 year old project management and administrative specialist, pursuing game development/localization and JLPT N3+ Japanese proficiency on the side.

I am also working on a number of video content production projects under my online handle Kurly Kurlz for my YouTube channel AnimeBeerCans, focusing on game industry video essays.

Welcome to my portfolio site, which I am hoping to improve and expand with videos, music, prototypes, and much more!

Game Development

My focus of study in university was multimedia with an emphasis in game design, which mainly focused on crafting documentation and playable prototypes in Unity.

While I was hoping to be a narrative designer/scenario planner by trade, I adapted to software such as MAXON Cinema4D to build out my own 3D models, Adobe Audition to mix audio levels for music and Foley SFX, SourceTree for the asset repot, etc. I also adopted somewhat producer centric tasks on each and every project I’ve been on.

Video Creation

A hobby marrying my lifetime of love and interest in both music and games with the numerous audio and video skills I picked up over the years.

Recently rebooted my AnimeBeerCans video creation label, creating short and long-form documentary content on gaming anthropology content. Dabbled very briefly with Twitch streaming via xSplit and StreamLabs previously.
