Currently 20 years old and, unsurprisingly,\u00a0 a Gamer.<\/p>\n<p>Hobbies include: Gaming, Creative Writing and Reading, DnD, Language study and Acting<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Gaming<br \/>\n<\/span>I personally play almost every genre of games, going from and to depending on what catches my fancy at the moment. As for favourites, it would probably be strategy and bullet-hell games. In both I love how involved you can get. Specific games I can list are the Total War franchise and the Touhou series, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Creative Writing and Reading<br \/>\n<\/span>While no work of mine is published in any way as of yet, I have written a lot. I started many a story with varying concepts just mostly as a way for myself to explore a possibly interesting world. This enjoyment includes reading of the worlds others have created and deemed appropriate to share with others.<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><br \/>\n<\/span>Experience in this subject is invaluable for script writing, a massive part of game creation.<br \/>\nI am currently working on &#8216;Lucifer Grimsbane&#8217;, a compilation of short exchanges between one Lord Grimsbane and his maid En with the purpose of character exploration.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/365education-my.sharepoint.com\/:f:\/r\/personal\/petch579_school_lu\/Documents\/Writing?csf=1&amp;web=1&amp;e=3hmlUe\">You can read some of it here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">DnD<\/span><br \/>\nThis technically combines all other hobbies into one. Well, languages only marginally, but you know. I have been both a DM and a Player, I have both created worlds and managed a group&#8217;s journey through it and experienced a journey through the guiding hands of a DM.<br \/>\nBeing a DM means being responsible for the group. The duties of the DM include scheduling, organizing and handling the group, all of which are abilities that can be directly translated into a professional environment.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Language study<br \/>\n<\/span>A passion I discovered after getting more into writing and learning of some of the intricacies of the English language.<br \/>\nCurrently I am learning Japanese, focusing my efforts first into remembering the 2000 and then some Kanji, their meanings and readings as doing this first will ease further learning of the language.<br \/>\nOnce I reach a conversational level in Japanese, where I can learn mostly through conversation, I plan on starting Korean, which will obviously start with the Hangul, the Korean alphabet.<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Acting<br \/>\n<\/span>Fully discovered through writing and DnD, I enjoy putting myself in the shoes of fictional characters and exploring their mannerisms, their figures of speech and their reactions to specific events.<br \/>\nI have no professional experience, but I have developed an innate sense for what fits through a lot of reading and writing. Doing this also helps me practice accents and voices, allowing me some insights into the voice acting skillset.<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Game Design<\/h1>\n<p>My focus is primarily on the development and design part of games. Not to confuse design with the artistic part. I have minor experience with 3D modelling using Maya, but that is about the end of my artistic talent. Basically: I can fix small mistakes in a model myself if they were to happen and create simple objects, no more complicated in nature than a PS2.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of my current theorizing relates to Bullethell games, patterns and how to implement them both in a 2D and 3D environment. I have specifically analyzed and written some paragraphs about the design and some specific amazing points about the Bullethell series that inspired me to start this: Touhou. They&#8217;re not written terribly professionally or in a serious tone, but they did give me a platform to think more clearly about these design points and what can make games great.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/365education-my.sharepoint.com\/personal\/petch579_school_lu\/_layouts\/15\/onedrive.aspx?id=%2Fpersonal%2Fpetch579%5Fschool%5Flu%2FDocuments%2FGame%20Design%2FTouhou%20Analysis\">Read them here<\/a><\/p>\n<h1>My Work process<\/h1>\n<p>Best described as sporadically light-speed, I work consistently on something until I get a bout of inspiration from which either a new idea is born, which is shelved for a period or from which I begin reworking my current idea.<\/p>\n<p>Writing a lot brings with it immense experience with iterative processes. I am very familiar with killing my darlings as well as reworking everything because of a single thing I figured or found didn&#8217;t fit.<\/p>\n<p>I can certainly work in a team and lead one. I am a person that works best with people they get along with even privately and as such approach and interact with team members in a way to propagate a good relationship, involving mediating and conducting all discussions in a professional manner to prevent personal conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, my innate and almost instinctual understanding of programming lends itself very well to working on my own. I can explain my thought processes in ways that others can understand, but it is usually faster for me to do it myself when I have an idea. This also leads to a trial-and-error approach, making me familiar with failure.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Contact information<\/h2>\n<p>chris.petit@btsgp.lu<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!-- [pt_view id=\"9f6c0c6f03\"] --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Me I&#8217;m Chris Petit, a student in the &#8216;BTS Game Programming and Game Design&#8217;.
