RE: Advertised
Summer Student Producer/Designer Position
Dear Gaijin
My name is Rob
Goddard I am a Game Designer from the UK, I have just graduated from the
University of Central Lancashire where I studied BA (Hons) Games Design at
Futureworks – The Manchester School of Media. I am looking for my first foray
into the industry and your position of Summer Student Producer/Designer strikes
a chord not only with my ambitions to become a Designer and Producer but also
with my love of music in gameplay.
I love Gaijin’s
vision of amalgamating abstract visuals, innovation, music and gameplay. This
is an idea I pursued also, having made a few game prototypes that explored
different uses of music and simple art styles. I feel that my degree has
prepared me for the industry and this opening is the perfect opportunity I am
looking for.
I am a driven
individual, and strive to push my own boundaries, ever pushing toward new
ideas. This fits perfectly with the medium of games as innovation and finding a
new player experience is key, not only for success but to advance the medium
too. My goal is to join a closely knit team of creative people where I can
comfortably produce and design content in collaboration. These games hold so
much more personality.
As a designer
I am highly computer literate with experience with 3D modelling packages like
Autodesk 3DS Max and Mudbox, as well as skills in 2D art and Adobe Photoshop
for concepting and texturing the games I create. As for the creation I am
fairly experienced with UDK and am looking to expand my ability in programming
to become a more efficient designer.
My years in
education have taught me the importance of teamwork and working to deadlines,
but also the competency to work alone, use initiative and lead a group. I have
a broad interest in media in general (TV, Music, Film, Games etc) and I feel
this knowledge really helps inform my creativity. Not only can I draw from many
sources but I can analyse what to avoid or recognise what has been explored
before.
Please find attached a copy of my CV and portfolio. Thank you for your consideration.
Kind Regards,
Rob Goddard
