I have always found myself being intrigued by things such as game development, VFX, cinematography, photography, etc. After exploring and completing various projects, I feel like i'm drawn towards prop creations.

I always shared a passion for the creative media and entertainment industry. However, it wasn't until I graduated high school I realized that I could use my passion to apply for my career path.

I always liked playing games and always had a PC since I was a Kid and used to play games like Pac-Man, Road Rash etc. But playing Assassins Creed 2 in 2010 got me seriously interested into gaming and game development. Been a lifelong Fan of the series and no matter how busy I am I will always find time to play games, check out different Indie games to check out new ideas that people have.

I just want to make games

I had been thinking for a few years prior but knowing it was not easy, I was hesitant to join the creative media and entertainment industry. It was only recently and strangely enough it was just as Covid-19 began that I left my job in hospitality and took up a diploma course in game technology.

I am a 21 years old game developer currently situated in India. Started dreaming about developing games since my childhood. I used to play a lot of games during my childhood and wonder how these were developed, coding always fascinates me and to have a career in Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality was my dream. When I was 16, I started research about the games designs and that raised my curiosity towards this industry. Designing games is my dream and I think I am living it now!

When i was working in a Hotel in Mumbai,India and wanted to grow in my passion of gaming and become a game developer.

I was passionate about the art, about the characters since I was a n elementary school student. I don't want stop there, I want to develop myself into the creative media, entertainment and gameing industry.

It was when I realized i wanted to make stories of my own based on existing franchises. I have always loved story telling and wanted to insert my own thoughts into the narrative. As a small child , i had an affinity to video games compared to other forms of visual media. Games allowed an individual to experience a narrative at his own leisure. It was the control given to the player to experience the story which has fascinated me to enter into the creative media and entertainment industry.

Drawing has always been something that I've enjoyed. With Game Development, I can enhance my skills on both the programming side as well as the creative side. Game Development can be tough but it's exciting at the same time because it's the challenges that continues to improve me to becoming a better developer each and every step of the way.

When i was 14years old

After playing so much games i got more interested on the story of the game as that is what always got me hook to the games i play , that's where i decided that my goal is to be a writer in the game industry

I have been always interested in gaming mechanics behind the game I played, specifically in Artificial Intelligence. I would also love to think about what I would change about the game if I have the chance to modify it or make a better game on my own or in a team.

It all started on March 2019 that I want to develop games that anyone can play with fun. Then learning game development is exciting because everyday you learn new things especially the programming part. Even if coding was hard, it makes it worth that developng games gives me a lot of excitement.

When i first join Mages.

I've always had an interest in Video Games and its process during development, however, there wasn't a first real realisation that this is what I wanted to do. At some point during my education in Game Design and Development, it clicked that there was something in this that I actually really enjoyed doing. It is very hard to pinpoint when because it both feels like I always wanted to work in this industry but also there was a distinct feeling when it felt right.

When I completed final fantasy during 1997, I felt that games can have many fantasy, there is where I want to Create game, but wanting to go into this industry line, is when I see Angry bird and Pokémon can be famous so globally, so I started to find School that I am suited in, where I found MAGES INSTITUTE.

When I started actively playing games when I was young

As a child i realized the amount of work that goes in the process of making games and i wanted to be a part of that process. I have a immense appreciation for the world building and level design and creativity portrayed through games.

I enjoyed playing games and watching movies. I love being immersed in story worlds and I love creating experiences for others. I realised that Entertainment keeps me alive and wanted to be a part of it. What keeps me going is knowing that my dreams and visions are within reach.

I first really wanted to create games ever since I was ~15 years old when I was making my first game using GameSalad, after creating that game, I really enjoyed the experience & the reactions that people had while playing my game was truly inspiring.

When I grew up I always want to work in the art industry, but my family didn't allow me to do so. Before I started university, I also applied for a Graphic Design program, but my family didn't support me. Instead of art, I studied management. Before I started my first job, I tried to get into the art industry again but I failed because of money. After the whole journey, I saved some money and finally studied 3D modeling for a year and so happy I am on the way to achieve my dream.

I wanted to work in the industry when I was young because I have seen works that have inspired me to take an interest in game development and art
