As a Games Art student, I had a chance to go down to Brighton and visit the Unity hub there. We listened to a variety of game-related talks from programming, to careers, to technical art! It was an exciting chance to see inside the offices and experience an industry environment.
Everyone at Unity was very passionate about gaming. Our first talk with Oliver Rosten taught us how to use programming principles through everyday problems in his presentation ‘what a DIY disaster can teach us about coding’ and ‘What can cooking teach us about coding’, it was a very interesting way of looking at how programming knowledge can apply in other situations- it was also very easy to understand for non-coders like me!
Our second talk was ‘Made With Unity’ with Liz Mercuri. Then we had a talk about Unity careers from Iwan Jones before an in-depth lesson on Technical Artistry from Joel Garcia exploring shadowing. We also had the Unity CEO give us a call!
It was a wonderful day, packed with information (and free coffee and snacks).
