My name is Kaye Elling, Im a grizzled veteran of nearly 13 years of game

development in the UK. Ive developed on pretty much every game console
from the PS1 to the Xbox 360, as a Character Artist, Art Lead, Art Manager, and
Project Manager. Some of the companies where I have worked include Gremlin
Interactive, Sony Computer Entertainment, and Blitz Games Studios where I
shipped many games in the Premier Manager series, the Bratz series, helped
out on Formula 1 and had a whole ton of games canned before release
including some **really good ones I still cant tell you about**. In 2008 I got
tired of the volatile nature of the industry and went to teach at the University of
Bradford. Shortly afterwards the coalition government was elected and started
to decimate that sector too. I am very sorry about this, and it is probably not all
my fault. The games courses that I run at Bradford University cover games art
and game design, and many of the survivors of these courses go on to lead rich
and fulfilling lives. Some of them even in the games industry at places like
Frontier, Climax, Ninja Theory, Jagex, Lionhead and EA. If you are interested in
studying on one of our games courses at Bradford (we have games code courses
too but I dont do code), you can contact ugadmissions@scim.brad.ac.uk,
because direct contact with me is best avoided unless you can appease my
capricious nature with chocolate, LOLcats or live puppy webcams. Especially
when marking.
