Visit To Uclan Games Design By Joe Nelson

UCLan Games Design students were delighted to welcome an important visitor from the games industry to their studio this week.

Namely, a fantastic opportunity to hear from Joe Nelson, Game Director at Ninja Theory on the 5-time BAFTA-winning "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice". Joe studied Game Design at UCLAN in Preston so we are particularly proud of his achievements.

Joe Nelson is a game director at Ninja Theory, having been design lead on Senua's Sacrifice" and previously working on both level and system designs.

His presentation described how to develop a plan for your game design to maintain a feasible story and authentic feel throughout the project. Joe's talk was a unique and fascinating insight into the depths of research and design planning that go into a game such as HellBlade.

It was great to welcome Joe back to the course in his capacity as a Games Director.
