Designing computer games requires team work. Games studios are made up of teams of people with various skills, each one a necessary process and stage in the realisation of a playable game. The work shown here illustrates a breakdown of these specialist skills: concept art, storyboarding, character design, level and asset design through to realising these concepts in 3D, texture art and building control rigs for animation. This work has been made by current students about to begin their 3rd year this October.
