Eloise Pearman - BA (Hons) Games Art
As an Environment Artist, I am passionate about games as a mode of storytelling and utilising the unique advantages of the medium to create innovative games that are fun to play and inspire positive change. Environments play a critical role in the creation of a Video Game. It is an aspect that, in some cases, can be eaily overlooked in favour of the combat or the beautiful story but can hide nuggets of lore or information that the player can interact with and deepen their understanding of the narrative. This is one of the places where Video Games have an advantage over other mediums as a game truly invites you to live in the world we have created and go through it at your own pace. Video Games offer a space to see and interact with the characters you grow to love as though they were people in your own life, the choice to explore the world or stick to the path set out, and by the end you can find yourself having learnt a lesson you didn't even know you were learning.
...or they can just be a bit of fun after a long day at work! The choice is all up to you.
