Personal and Professional Practice 3: 'Research' Studio Brief - TT Games

The next company that I wanted to look at was TT Games as this is one of my favourite gaming companies of the last couple of years as they are in charge of making the LEGO games, along with other things, in the past. They are a fantastic company that know how to do humour so well and time it spot on during game play. As the LEGO games are mainly targeted towards children and families, although they are fantastic and I would highly recommend them, they are all so brightly coloured and such good fun to play.

The games that they bring out are usually influenced by certain films that have been released or based around stories from LEGO themselves, as more recently The Hobbit game has been made and before that they have worked on things like The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars and the Superhero films that have been released respectively. They create some really brilliant games and I would love to work for them as a team due to how brilliant they are and how well they can get together and produce a game of these high quality and with such brilliantly childish humour that never fails to make me laugh.

Looking at the kind of jobs that they are currently advertising its clear that I do have some of the necessary skills to be able to join them as a company with the experience that I have gained from being at university which is very exciting to see so when I am completely finished they will definitely be a company that I will be looking to for a potential job. Below are what they are currently looking for skill-wise for environmental artists, and I do think it could be definitely something I can get stuck into.
