Damian Slocombe is a programmer with eight years’ experience specialising in game development and Unity tooling, currently working at Hyper Luminal Games after roles at Cobra Mobile and Ant Workshop. He builds practical editor extensions and workflow-enhancing tools—most notably the HierarchyDecorator Unity plugin where he refactored core systems, improved GUI/style handling, and implemented custom component icon drawing. Damian has shipped gameplay and AI systems across indie and studio contexts, added console and modern Apple support, and regularly prototypes features while communicating technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders. Based in Paisley, Scotland, he blends hands-on Unity development with a strong focus on developer experience, and he publishes useful open-source utilities that reveal a preference for clean, maintainable tooling over flashy one-offs.
