Games Technology Bsc Student - Coventry University

 

As a child - and throughout my life; I have always loved playing games! Titles such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Brothers, Zelda, Street Fighter, Streets of Rage, Vagrant Story, Legacy of Kain and the Final Fantasy series all hold found memories for me; yet I never saw creating games as something that could transend into a job role. I spent several years working in the field of hardware and  software suport as well as maintaining network infracstructures - along side my hobby of playing games and keeping up to date with the changes in technology regarding consoles and PC components.

 

However the time came when I began to consider progressing my scholarly background; having worked several years but having not yet attained a degree; seeing how the industry had changed and also having a love for gaming I decided to forefil a dream, and here I am now in my first year at university as of September 2014: never having programmed before this has been challenging and extremely rewarding.

 

Being a fan of Anime, Manga, artistists such as Yoshitaka Amano, and developers such as Lion Head and Rockstar Games: it is my aim to keep improving upon my skillsets and gain experiences that would allow me to make real my ideas and concepts that I would like to progrss as part of a studio and possibly some day as part of my own design as a flagship game for my own studio.
