A curated collection of 10+ years of client work & personal initiatives.
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 the original Game Director and Lead Designer of The Elder Scrolls franchise, Conner was given the role of Senior Project Manager and tasked with overseeing the launch of their independent games venture, 'The Wayward Realms.' Within 90 days Conner, overseeing a team of 30, created and launched a Teaser Trailer, Steam Landing Page, and information campaign that led to coverage in over 50 online publications including PCGamer, Eurogamer, 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 unique development methodologies and technical abilities across time and space.
Conner co-authored the Nevada DOE's Standards for Digital Game Development taught throughout the state, trained many of Las Vegas's magnet school teachers in Unreal Engine for videogame development, and personally taught game dev high school classes to at-risk youth from 2018 to 2023 — all while co-running Dotware. Conner now teaches one class of videogame technology and design for The Adelson School in Las Vegas, Nevada.
