The Course The Course

I joined this course with a strong understanding of game development and programming from my hobbyist experience. This course offered me the freedom to explore programming concepts at my speed. I also had the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of 2D and 3D art.

I became familiar with 3DS Max which became my tool of choice. This benefited my understanding of 3D graphics greatly. The 3D artistry later inspired my exploration of Substance Designer and other tech art tools.

Unlike some university courses, I was offered the freedom to make anything I felt like making and the tutors would guide me on how I can meet the marking criteria of the diploma. This was a incredible experience as I gave me the space and freedom I needed to explore games development at my own pace.

I am personally very interested in RPG games, and so many of the projects I done where themselves RPGs.

It was during this course where I got my first job working on EITR. It worked out wonderfully as, with permission from the team, I was able to use parts of my work on EITR towards my diploma.
