Andrich Laker
Heyo! My name is Andrich Laker. Since I was a child I have been thinking of having a role in the game industry. My way of playing games was primarily just using 1 mechanic over and over again or using glitches for fun. Which made me think of becoming a QA tester. However, after reflecting on what I enjoy to do, I realised I want to create things.
What specifically fascinates me within game development is player-centered design. Working on games that focus on the player’s experience, needs, and interactions is incredibly inspiring to me. I firmly believe that this approach not only enhances the overall gameplay experience but also creates a deeper connection between the player and the game.
During my previous projects, I have tried to apply this principle by carefully listening to user feedback and iteratively refining gameplay elements to make them seamless and easy to engage with.
