Game industry job research:
Website taken from:
"Key skills we're looking for...
- Unity Game Engine skills
- C# scripting expertise
- Degree in Games Development or related subjects"
They only have a few requests with a lot of them, but having more than that would most likely secure the job.

Personal Statement
I enjoy looking at good and bad game assets, mostly in the territory of online play, collision and the general texture on the walls. I can see when games "cheat" with their textures as some of them don't even need to have a normal map, so they don't use one. I feel as I would be perfect for this course as I love games and how they are made. This means I can get better at what I like to do more, as I have a small tablet and a working computer, which I use for games. I absolutely enjoyed my course all together, but I mostly loved creature design.

Skills Audit:
Skills I have learnt in the past year, are development skills and photoshop skills to further make make my work look a lot better.
I have also learned more in Maya as I was struggling at first. But it gets easier as it updates and the more I learn.
I can take away with me that I now know how to use Unreal Engine a lot better than before. Which can help a lot.
I have 2D skills have improved so very much as I've also been using my own time to draw.

Monthly costs
At first I was going to go to University but as time went on I decided to go for a job. If needed I can go back to Uni at a later date. But having money to start with is a huge benefit.
