Part 1: In class Monday we had visiting speakers who work in the local video game industry. Write a short response to our visiting speaker presentations. Who were they? What do they do? Did you learn anything new through their talk?
Nate and Annie are both part of the game industry, they have worked for over 10 years in the industry. They are currently working together in a project. Both of them work full-time, while most of the other members in the team work part-time. Nate is a game developer, meaning that he codes most of the game, while Annie is the artist for the game. Annie’s strong point is drawing two-dimensional, while Nate’s strong point is working with 3D. They came to an agreement to make the game 2.5D. This means that the artwork is going to be in 2D while the playing field is going to be 3D. I learned about different types of game engines. Nate’s tip for us that I am going to take into considerations is NOT making my own game engine.
Part 2: Next class we will have some faculty presenters. This is your chance to ask them anything, no matter how absurd. Post at least one question on your blog. You can post more if you like. I will collate and choose some of the common questions that come up.
- Were you a St. Edwards Alumni?
- How many people do you work with a day?
- What is your favorite thing about your job?
