Windmill Lane, Dublin

This was a really fun module is was asked to prepare, based on a single lesson I used for the design/development course.It was a 5 2-hour lesson on the progression of video games through history, starting with the proliferation of games, as a culture all the way back in the 17 hundred, coming around to the invention of CRT technology and the first analogue computers of the 30's and 40's, and on to more contemporary consoles, developers, companies and games we are more familiar with.I also included a lesson on audio for video games which makes these lessons quite unique.I was a fun course to develop, and even more fun to deliver and I’m happy that it’s something my students remember with fondness about their time at Pulse.

I worked closely with our consultant graphics and audio artists in creating concept material.Coming up to release i'd also be in charge of press-releases, trailers, promo materials, as well as marketing and heading to events and conventions where we could showcase our studio and our games.We also worked with a couple of clients and helped bring their requirements in a formalised design we could agree upon, including building prototypes, etc.
