Join us on Wednesday, September 12th at 7pm in Intrepid Labs, in The American Twine Building (222 Third St. Cambridge, MA 02141 4th floor) for our next Boston Post Mortem meeting:
Making Art for Games (big and small)
Are you an artist and have you wanted to make your own game? Britt will be going through lessons learned working as an artist on AAA games and currently a smaller indie title. In the talk he will be identifying core skills that give an artist longevity and the versatility necessary to create any visual style for a game. We will be talking about working on a team, learning, and studying from other artists, adapting to changing styles and trends along with evolving as an artist both in game development and out.
