HALL OF FAME

"This course was a door that opened in my life after finishing my nursing degree, allowing me to combine my passion for video games with my creativity and curiosity about their creation process. From a student's perspective, it essentially taught me to be independent, proactive, and to deal with very different personalities. This degree is a great way to learn the foundations of the various creative aspects of a video game and meet professionals in the field who introduce us to the market. I focused on game design throughout the course and was also in charge of the producer role for projects, and currently, I work as a game director and game designer."

"The Video Games and Multimedia Applications course at Lusófona University of Porto gave me a complete overview of the entire game creation process, from game design and prototyping to programming and final production. The collaborative environment, practical projects, and constant contact with real industry tools truly prepared me to enter the job market. Today, I work as a programmer in the field, supported by the solid skills, critical thinking, and confidence I developed throughout the course."

"The Video Games and Multimedia Applications course had an important impact on my academic and professional path because it was there that I was able to develop my skills in game art and better understand what I wanted to pursue professionally. Beyond the technical component, the course also gave me experience in teamwork and project development, which turned out to be very important for my entry into the industry. I currently work in video game development, mainly focused on 3D and 2D art, environment art, while also continuing to develop personal projects."

"The Video Games and Multimedia Applications course was essential to build the technical and creative foundation that opened doors for me in the game industry. My internship and final project strengthened my resume and portfolio. The comprehensive training made me a more versatile professional. Thanks to this preparation, I had the opportunity to work as an Environment Artist and Game/Level Designer on projects for major brands, such as Prime Video, Nickelodeon, and Miraculous."

"For me, this course was a door to meet and work with other creatives. The emphasis on projects and the freedom in their content becomes a very strong motivation for students who are hungry to create and express themselves through video games. To realize this vision, we were provided with the basics for any area related to video games; therefore, it is especially suitable for those who still don't quite know their path and especially for those looking to do solo development."

"Taking the VAM course was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I made. I found colleagues and teachers who I will carry with me for life and who helped me rediscover the passion for video games that I had since childhood. I also had the opportunity to participate in professional projects that I never imagined were possible, experiences that made me grow both personally and professionally. I can only be grateful for all the opportunities this course provided me."

"The Video Games and Multimedia Applications course at Lusófona University of Porto allowed me to learn and improve in all areas of video game and software development. Thanks to what I learned in the course and the help of the teachers, I was able to acquire enough knowledge and skills to apply to Futuregames Sweden (Stockholm) and enter with a merit scholarship. At Futuregames, I completed the Game Programmer course, where I had the opportunity to work with companies in the Swedish video game industry. Today, I work as a Designer and Software/Web Developer at ATLAR Innovation. In my free time, I continue to develop games and software in various programming languages."
