William David Watson
Game Designer
Hi! I'm Will and I am a game designer.
Here is everything you may want to know about me!
I graduated from a Bachelors degree at Staffordshire University in 2022 with a First-Class in Virtual Reality Design. During this course, we would create both games and experiences used in a variety of ways. I even have a piece of my photogrammetry work displayed for the public in The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent.
​
I returned for my Masters in the same year at Staffordshire University to take Masters by Negotiated Study: Immersion and Virtual Reality Design (Msc). Within this course, I took all three semesters to create a VR dungeon crawler RPG experience, plus doing a study on immersion within multiple types of media, like film, games, books, etc. I finished my Masters with no issues throughout the year, ultimately achieving a First Class degree.
​
Outside of education, I enjoy creating games as a hobby, learning new skills in Unreal Engine, and creating new gameplay mechanics. I also spent many years as a Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts Assistant Leader for my local Scouting group which taught me efficient time planning and how to keep impatient people (kids) entertained. I also spent the summer of 2022 at Education First, a foreign summer school for all ages that want to experience the UK. As a activity leader, promoted to activity coordinator within a month, it was my responsibility to create and organise activities and trips for the foreign student over the age of 16, plus managing a team to help me host these events.
​
Since then, I have worked with Racquet Studios on a freelance basis and have just started with Infinity27 on the same terms. I have a solid background on video game design but I am now looking to create a stable career.
