Katie & Mairiella’s Work Experience at Skyhook Games!

Katie & Mariella’s work experience at skyhook games!

Last week we welcomed The Studio students, Katie & Mairiella, to the Skyhook Games Studio. On the last day of their placement, we asked them a few questions about their week with us!

How have you enjoyed your time here at Skyhook?

Katie:

My time at Skyhook has been fun & interesting! It has certainly been a more relaxed environment than college.

Mairiella:

I have very much enjoyed my time here and found it very interesting learning about the different roles that all combine to create a game!

How has your time here helped you?

Katie:

Thanks to conversations with the staff in the studio, I have been able to gain first-hand experience of what it’s like to work within a gaming company. I was given a rundown of their roles, the programs they use, and what a typical workday involves.

Mairiella:

Learning about the various roles within a game development studio has given me a clearer idea of what I might want to pursue if I decide to enter the industry.

Was there any aspect of your learning that you particularly enjoyed?

Katie:

The areas I’m interested in are very much art focussed, so being able to see what the 3D and Technical Artists do has certainly been a highlight. Seeing the level of detail that goes into creating the art was also very enjoyable.

Mairiella:

I enjoyed seeing how maps and assets are created, as well as how games are marketed to their audience.
