Hello my name is Bailey Brian, I am a new student studying Next Gen at Sunderland College. From a very young age I have had a love for gaming which has developed to a passion for many aspects of technology. As my interest for the technology grew, I expanded my knowledge of technology as well as my love for gaming and graphic design (which was fuelled by my early interest in art). Growing up I have always dreamed of creating my own game and for other people to be able to experience it. The very first time I experienced the wonder that is gaming was when I was 3/4 and my uncle showed me he was playing at the time called ‘Baldur’s Gate’. I instantly fell in love with the mysterious fantasy game, and it now stands to be one of my favourite games still to this day as it is the game that started it all for me. However, my favourite game of all time is ‘Destiny’ as I love how it is a different experience to any other game.
While studying the Next Gen course I expect to develop my artistic ability as well as learning new skills in the areas of: Game design / programming, 3D modelling, animation and VFX. My main focus being Game design / programming, I hope that my previous mathematical knowledge will help. My ultimate goal is to enter the gaming industry as a game programmer / designer – that would be a dream come true! Fantasy and shooting games are the two main genres I would prefer to work with.
