First-year games development student at York St John University. I make games, build 3D models, and am looking for an internship.
I got into games development because I enjoyed taking games apart in my head, figuring out why certain spaces feel tense, or how a game gets you to care about something without directly telling you to. That side of it still interests me the most: the design decisions behind how an experience actually feels.
I'm in my first year at York St John University studying BSc Computer Science with Game Development. Before that I did a Level 3 Games Development course at York College, where I got two distinctions. I'm looking for an internship where I can get some real experience and learn how a studio actually works.
After my GCSEs I had no real plan. I went to a college open day, ended up in a 3D modelling workshop, and found it genuinely interesting. My tutor Steve was a big part of that. He gave me a realistic picture of what games development actually involves, which made me want to pursue it properly.
I finished with two distinctions and moved on to university. That's pretty much it. No grand narrative, just found something I was good at and enjoyed, and kept going.
I'm looking for an internship where I can see how a real studio operates, the actual day to day of production, how teams communicate, and how projects get from an idea to something finished. I want to pick things up fast and be useful, not just sit and watch.
In past projects I've been reliable, easy to work with, and happy to take on whatever needs doing, whether that's code, 3D work, or something more practical. I pick things up quickly and don't need a lot of hand-holding.
