Games Technology and Enterprise
Our Games Technology and Enterprise degree courses lets students develop the experience and skills they need to work in the games industry and businesses using gaming technology such as simulation training, healthcare and web design. Our showcase gives you a taste of these technologies, with games exploring sensory impairment and VR technology. There's also a special feature from first-year student team The Incredibogs, who swept the awards boards at this year’s University GameJam – including Best Overall Game – with their title Brewstone.

One character is based on a Medic from World War 2 and the other is a bounty hunter inspired by Star Wars concepts. Programs used include Zbrush (sculpting), 3DS Max (unwrapping, retopology) and Substance Painter (textures).
