Get In The Game Tour Diary: London

November 11, 2016November 11, 2016 Dan Dudley 0

We’re half way through the Get In The Game tour, finishing off a great week visiting universities across London.

This week we were joined by Thad Frogley, Mark Gossage & Will Tarratt from Boss Alien, & Gwaredd Mountain from BAFTA-winning studio, Preloaded. Each spent time sharing their experience and advice with the students alongside our Grads In Games team delivering games careers advice.

It was a packed week of university visits, with the team managing to deliver the talks at 9 universities across the capital. We’ve had a great reception at all, and would like to thank all of the unis we went to : UoL – Westminster, London Met, UoL – Goldsmiths, UoL – Queen Mary, UoL – City, UCL, Greenwich, Kingston & Imperial College.

Gwaredd delivered a technical talk about the use of MCTS in Lionhead’s Fable Legends. The talk went into detail about algorihms, AI and modelling used in the game.

 

@ASwift_Sharan Thanks for coming! Some really helpful advice and Gwaredd’s talk was very interesting and gave me some cool ideas!
