BSc (Hons) Games Tech
My university journey in Games Technology has been an immersive and dynamic exploration of the multifaceted world of game development. Over the course of three enriching years, I delved into a comprehensive curriculum that spanned the entire spectrum of game design and technology. From understanding the intricacies of game engine architecture to mastering the art of game level design, delving into AI, and honing my skills in game programming, the curriculum provided a holistic view of the gaming industry. The culmination of my academic endeavors was my dissertation, a deep dive into procedural generation and the integration of a design system that focused on creating unique entities, such as rooms, buildings, dungeons, cities + More. The system allowed designers freedom through parametric controls to tweak and perfect the design. This innovative approach not only showcased the synthesis of theoretical knowledge and practical skills gained throughout the program but also underscored my commitment to pushing the boundaries of creativity and technological advancement within the realm of game development.
