ebony’s work experience at skyhook games!
this week, LMA student, Ebony joined us at the skyhook games studio! now that her time with us has come to an end, let’s find out how she enjoyed her time with us!
How have you found your week at Skyhook?
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Skyhook, as it provided me with a deeper understanding of working in the game studio. Throughout the week, I had an opportunity to engage with the team who welcomed me. I believe this experience has better prepared me to enter the industry as I approach the end of my university course. The week flew by as I was filled with continuous activities that helped me gain a more comprehensive insight into the industry.
How has your time here helped you?
My time at Skyhook has provided me with a deeper understanding of the working of a game development studio by showing each role within the organisation and how they collaborate as a cohesive team. Throughout this week I have also gained valuable insights, such as new tips, tools, and software unfamiliar to me.
Was there any aspect you particularly enjoyed?
I really loved every aspect here but, if I had to pick one it would be QA. It really helped broaden my understanding of encountering bugs and the development process, providing reassurance that game studios also encounter similar issues I have had in one of my university projects. This helped with my confidence in myself, as it illustrates that encountering bugs is a normal part of early game development, even for established companies.
How would you summarise your week?
My time here was truly amazing. The warm welcome I received from the whole team the moment I arrived set the tone for an unforgettable experience. Being granted the opportunity to meet the team and seeing the insights into everything that goes into game development was truly eye opening.
