Q&A with Anthony

Which city are you currently based in?

Berlin, Germany

What did your pathway into the industry look like?

After apprenticeships during my IT studies, I joined the publisher Deep Silver as Functional QA Manager, then Creative Producer/Supervisor for 6 years. During this time, I touched on many fields including game design, narrative, cinematic direction, production and marketing/communications on various franchises. I then joined the Ubisoft Berlin studio as a Project Coordinator before transitioning once again to game design.

What has been the best experience of your career so far?

Working on Metro: Exodus as Creative Supervisor and promoting it at E3 2018. Soon, my Game Designer credits on Far Cry 6!

What’s your advice for your students?

Never give up on your goals! You don't always have to make big strides, but everything can be a step forward, and it's easier to succeed if you keep trying.

Game Design Foundations

36 weeks - 20hrs weekly

Using real-world case studies, you will learn how to deconstruct games, tackle complex design problems, see what makes a good user experience, bring your own ideas to life, write design documents, and develop a game pitch. Finish with a fully playable game!

What do you enjoy most about being a CG Spectrum mentor?

Sharing my experience and perspectives with students, and in turn learning from what these new game creators come up with.

How do you stay creative outside of work?

Playing and game-mastering tabletop roleplaying games (gone digital these days), fiddling with personal game concepts, and learning tons of facts (of various utilities) on the internet.

What excites you most about the future of game design?

The tools available nowadays to provide interactive experiences are more powerful than ever, and it's down to designers to come up with innovation on gameplay rather than tech. This should lead to some pretty amazing fantasies for us to play through!
