Hello,
My name is Matthew Dickson and I have recently joined Sunderland College to take the Next Gen course. I am interested in entering the games industry in the form of a programmer. Throughout my time at the college I will be posting all of my work on this site including other aspects other than programming like 2D/3D design, animation and art.
My favourite game of all time is probably Spyro: A Heroes Tale because it was and still is a really fun and interesting game to play through and personally I am a gamer who often enjoys a spot of nostalgia now and then. However, moving away from nostalgic games, my modern day favourite game is currently PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds because of its amazing graphics while just being made and inspired by one person, another reason i like it is because of how often new things are added to the game and how responsive the developer is when there is something wrong with it. I am very interested in games that are breath-taking to anybody that plays them graphics-wise like the Uncharted franchise and Horizon Zero Dawn. I am also very interested in the Steampunk theme, which explains my interest in Bioshock Infinite.
I fully acknowledge the fact that the Next Gen course will be a challenge to get used to at first but i am looking forward to being able to call the hard work my own and eventually be able to get my life long dream job. You will all be joining me over the next 2 years as i go through this course and update you every step of the way so keep updated.
