Reflective paragraph (24th Sep)

For our second assignment were tasked with writing a paragraph that reflected what we wanted to learn and develop throughout or masters degree and why.

For my Masters in Games Design I would really like to improve on my Level Designing and Environmental art skills. I love the concept of creating immersion for players/users and would really like to enhance these skills. In the future I am hoping to be able to move into making environments for movies as the software that is used to make 3D environments in games is the same for most films, with lots of films and TV shows using software like Blender, Maya and even the Unreal Engine 4 to create some of their breath taking environments. These are the software’s that I need to conduct further research into and build impressive looking levels/ scenes and eye-catching concept art pieces to make an imposing/employable portfolio.

Outside of this I would really like to delve deeper into composing soundtracks and music to go along with my scenes. I have done some work in Garage Band and Logic Pro mostly composing music for my GCSE Music coursework. Though I took a real shine to this and would love to enhance my knowledge and practical skills in this area further.

Overall I believe creating an immersive environment/atmosphere is the most important features a game can have and is an area that I really want/need to pursue if I want to create an impressive portfolio.
