Looking for something to do over the spring break? This jam looks like a fun opportunity to get creative!

I had the pleasure of meeting many up & coming talented artists during portfolio reviews at GDC. While there’s a TON of talent, there’s so much competition with tough times & hiring freezes. Collecting some feedback and sharing here in hopes it helps just one person. Thread 🧵

The rather cool moment when one of the Level 5 collaborative teams presents you a 3D model of their game character.

We have a cracking opportunity to offer here with a paid QA internship at @DrawAndCode. This internship will give you valuable experience working on a VR project part-time with flexible working hours. You can find the advert on CareerHub: careers.chester.ac.uk/students/jobs/…

Popped in to see what our students were up to for @globalgamejam. A hive of activity. Really great to have some industry alumni attending as well! #GGJ23

Heads up games students! A public lecture title "Need for Speed: The Sounds of Racing Games" is to take place in the Wheeler building on 22nd February at 6pm - definitely an extracurricular event to get to if you can. www1.chester.ac.uk/events/need-sp…

Another great Xmas lecture by @Mrdaveoso and @TheFuzzyMole talked about how to present games at expos. Really interesting for anyone interested in how the indy games world works. youtu.be/_q1JYA7Izlo

An excellent opportunity for those wanting to complete a year in industry between L5 and L6.

This summer, @_DetectiveJones joined us from @uochester and worked alongside our 3D team on a season-long placement. During her time with us, she worked on the game design and #3D assets for a #VR dungeon crawler🪄 Read about Liberty's time with us here👉drawandcode.com/liberty-jones-…

This looks like a great opportunity!
