Train2Game Industry Experience

22-24 June 2011

Oh my god I’m finally here at DR studios, can I get a BOWYA!

Going to be completely honest here and say that the night before I didn’t have much sleep. I was too busy thinking to myself “Am I ready for this, will everyone at DR like me and will I finally prove to myself that dreams are possible with determination and hard work.” With some of these answers yet to come, I know one thing; I must work hard and make Train2Game and Dr Studios proud of their students.

When I first stepped into DR I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I might be. I think that was because I was with Chris Robinson who isn’t only a student, but I like to think as a good friend as well. Chris showed me the ropes of Alienbrain (Software we use for revision control) and introduced me to Mete (Lead Designer) who I may add is an awesome guy.

Once Chris left and finished his final day, I knew I had a lot to live up to after seeing a lot of his work and the previous students before me.

Mete assigned me my first assignment to play-test a few games from DR, to take my opinion and to see if I could possibly glitch the game. So in a nut-shell I played on the Ipad all day which was the weirdest experience. I’m used to working in environments where they drain the fun out of everything but to play games at work, now we are talking.

So I guess you want to know what I think so far, well, I finally feel happy and kind of feel like I’ve achieved the impossible at the same time.

Until then, you stay classy internet.
