A group of students from the Faculty of Computing and Informatics (FCI) and the Faculty of Creative Multimedia (FCM) attended a presentation by Ms. Tomoko Choo, Head of Studio of Larian Studios (Malaysia) for the Career Talk session on 20 June 2023. The speaker shared her insights on her team’s experiences, challenges, and cultures in the real-world industry. The students gained an exclusive glimpse into the game development process as well as its creative minds.
During her talk, Ms. Tomoko discussed the wide range of career opportunities available in the gaming industry. Students were encouraged to explore roles such as programming, mocap animation, QA testing, and community management, among others.
Additionally, she took the opportunity to promote Larian Studios’ latest game trailer, Baldur’s Game 3, which is set to launch on August 31, 2023, where it took some time to develop the game. The students also engaged in an interactive Q&A session, and they were thrilled to receive the merchandise from the Larian Studios. This industrial sharing session is vital for our students to receive insightful perspectives and knowledge from the industrial players.
