Video games fans who want to learn the practical skills to produce great-looking games can find just what they’re looking for at the University of Northampton.

The Games Art degree course focuses on the visual side of the industry, offering an introduction to the creative aspects of the gaming industry and covering key points in the creative process, from storyboarding to character and environment design.

Each year the work of Games Art students is compiled for a show reel – here’s the 2017 video for your enjoyment:

They serve to prepare a person for a trip, re-cap details of a trip, or even replace the trip and give users the ability to visit areas they would not usually have the chance to. Dr Naomi Holmes (Sheffield Hallam), Dr Scott Turner (Northampton) and I conducted a small scale research project a couple of years ago in this field.
