Get to know some of the amazing Team17!
Jess, Lead Producer
What I do…
“Herd cool cats (I’m in Production)”
Growing up I wanted to become…
“I’m still growing up…but… farmer. Author. Animator. I still haven’t decided, but Games Production is my lovely home for now.”
The thing that surprised me most about my career…
“People sometimes listen to me.”
The best advice anyone ever gave me…
“Don’t compare yourself to others. If it smells bad, get rid of it. Leave somewhere better than you found it.”
Christie, Lead Producer
What I do…
“I am a Lead Producer. I spend a lot of time organising chaos, balancing budgets, reviewing schedules and timelines and working with exceptionally talented, creative people.”
Growing up I wanted to become…
“I wanted to be an Art or IT Teacher. They were my favourite subjects at school.”
The thing that surprised me most about my career…
“There are so many different roles and parts to play within Games Development.”
The best advice anyone ever gave me…
“Be Kind. Boredom is a choice.”
Calum, Games Programmer
What I do…
“I write code for games, assemble cogs that makes a game turn behind the scenes, but most of my time is spent cleaning the cogs. I play games a lot too; video games, board games, role-playing games. I just really like games!”
Growing up I wanted to become…
“An actor. Solely because I liked Joey in Friends. Never mind that I had stage fright. After getting humbled in a school play, I started wondering if I could be a writer. I always liked computers, but didn’t think it could be a career until high school when a teacher taught me to speak to the machine, and the machine spoke back…”
The thing that surprised me most about my career…
“How often I get pulled into other creative aspects of the games development, like written language or animations.”
The best advice anyone ever gave me…
“When picking a career, try and pick something that makes you happy.”
