Escape graduates continue to get hired by big games studios

For over six years Escape has been seeing its graduates get the kind of jobs they’ve always dreamt about, and the games industry is no exception.

Electronic Arts, Free Radical Design, TT Games and Zoë Mode have all recognised the skills we teach and taken artists who’ve studied here.

Take Nicole Gabriel who’s been at Electronic Arts for around two years now. She entered as a junior and quickly became a Lead/Senior Artist. Nicole’s worked on some truly massive titles too. The highly-destructive ‘Black’ and ‘Burnout Paradise’, the latest in the series of smash’em’up racers, are two of the top-sellers she's been involved with.

Another graduate who found a great opening in games is Ben Moseley. He was invited in to talk to TT Games and after having a look at what they do he jumped at the chance to join. TT Games is best known for its massive-selling series of Star Wars Lego games but its Narnia title also wowed gamers of all ages.

We’ve also seen Glyn Evans and Ross Colgan go down to Brighton to join Zoë Mode and Samir Battistotti find work at Free Radical Design. He worked on ‘Haze’ for Ubisoft and is now working on a huge but secret  title for Lucus Arts. In addition, Chris Bradwell found work at Proper Games in Glasgow.

All of them tell us they’re delighted with their work and can’t imagine being where they are without the training and inspiration they found at Escape.

If you’d like any more information on games courses, or any other, then please feel free to contact Jason our Training Manager.
