Las Vegas's first ever annual game jam, partnered with game industry titans like Epic Games, was created entirely by Conner Torres with the mission of enlivening the tech development talent pool in Las Vegas, NV.

North America's largest B2B trade show for the media and entertainment industry approached Conner to develop their first entry into E-Sports & Games, resulting in the inception of something wonderfully original.

Joining with original Elder Scroll's Game Director and Lead Designer, Conner was tasked with overseeing the launch and management of their independant games venture, 'The Wayward Realms.' Within 90 days Conner, overseeing a team of 30, launched a Teaser Trailer, Steam Landing Page, and information campaign that led to coverage in over 50 online publications that included PCGamer, Euro Gamer, and Rock Paper Shotgun.

In 2017, Conner began a multi-year effort to resurrect the world of Ancient Egypt through the medium of videogames, an epic project that would forge his development methodologies across time and space.

Conner co-authored the Department of Education's Standards for Digital Game Development, trained many of Las Vegas's magnet school teachers in Unreal Engine, and personally taught game development classes to at-risk youth for 5 years from 2018 to 2023.
