Background

About Thomas Eaves

Currently doing an internship at Lucid Games Ltd, as a Gameplay Programmer. Primarily, I support the technical development of new features for Lucid's game projects, using C++ with Unreal Engine 5. Most of my experience is in developing environmental mechanics, standalone mechanics, gameplay abilities, and some networked gameplay. I have worked as part of two different teams in the development of multiple projects. During my time at Lucid, I have come to understand the importance of task management, team communication, and building features features that are intuitive and robust for other developers and designers. My responsibility as a gameplay programmer is primarily to implement the features of the game which player's will interact with, directly.In September, 2023, I will be returning to Staffordshire University to complete my degree course in BSc (Hons) Computer Games Programming, where I will use the new technical and professional skills I have developed over my 12 months on placement to produce a final year project, as well as helping the other students on my course, as part of a studio simulation module.
