About Me
I'm Trent Sterling (Tront), a game developer with over 10 years of experience specializing in Unity, C#, VR, and multiplayer networking.

My expertise lies in high-performance VR (120Hz+), robust multiplayer networking, and solid gameplay systems. If you seek technical excellence in Unity, VR, and online games, you're here.
My journey started modding Halo CE/2, Minecraft, and Garry's Mod. These taught me game mechanics, scripting, and community-driven development.
