The top Train2Game students now get the opportunity to join established games studios on work placements as part of their Train2Game courses. The Train2Game blog caught up with Train2Game Games Design student Adam Gulliver to chat what about his work placement at DR Studios.

Train2Game: Hi Adam, what Train2Game course are you on and how are you finding it?

Adam Gulliver: I’m on the Train2Game Games Designer course and I’m finding it really useful, really good and I’m learning a lot of new skills.  But as it’s great to be gaining some experience of working in a games studio at the moment.

Train2Game: Why did you decide to take the Train2Game Games Designer course?

Adam Gulliver: Well, I really like playing games basically! So when I first saw the Train2Game course on a jobs website I rang the company and an advisor game to talk to me about it. It sounded really good so I decided to go for it.

Train2Game: What do you want to learn and achieve during your Train2Game work placement at DR Studios?

Adam Gulliver: I hoping to learn what it’s like working in a proper studio, so hopefully this experience will help me add to my portfolio and then get a permanent job in the games industry.

Train2Game: Is there anything in particular you’re working on during your work placement at DR Studios right now?

Adam Gulliver: It’s mainly some pitch documents with concepts, a lot of documentation basically!

Train2Game: Do you think your Train2Game work placement at DR Studios will provide you with helpful experience when it comes to finding a job in the games industry?

Adam Gulliver: Yes! You can’t really learn everything while working at home so you need to try to get some experience in a games studio environment and with people experienced when it comes to working in the games industry like at DR Studios.

Train2Game: You have your own thread on the Train2Game forum! How are you finding that, is it strange?

Adam Gulliver: Yeah it’s a bit weird having my own thread and people talking about me and people talking about. But I’m looking forward to telling them how enjoyable this placement is!

Train2Game: Thanks Adam.
