Position: Programmer
Worked on: Bionicle Heroes, LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Indiana Jones
Peter graduated from Bolton University in 2005, getting a First. His lecture was about the programming side of the industry. While I’m not a programmer, I found it interesting to see how they contribute to a game, how they operate in a studio and the problems they encounter.
While his lecture was mostly about programming, he did give some very sage advice about game content. He explained that players will notice a poorly finished feature in games, but they won’t notice a missing feature. He stressed the importance of polishing existing features before adding new ones.
An unexpected part of his lecture was how to stay healthy during crunch times. He told us to expect stress and long working hours during these times, and gave us some great advice on staying positive and healthy, advice which I will surely use myself.
