I am Diego Arce an IMGD Senior focused on 3D Modeling & Level Design. I am from Puerto Rico and transferred to WPI after Becker College closed last year. When I first enrolled in the game design major I went for game design instead of game art, I thought that I would do a little bit of everything not just focus on art since I was never too interested in 2D art. After taking 3D Modeling I’ve definitely shifted my focus towards art as I enjoyed modeling much more than I thought I would. So I hope to enter the Game Development field as some kind of 3D artist more likely environmental, prop or vehicle as while I can do Character art I am much more interested in those parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for what I want to improve I wouldn’t pin point one thing, I really just want to improve everything. I want to be able to compare my work to professional artists. As for making games I am mostly experienced in Unity as that is what was used at Becker, I did get the chance to learn Unreal 5 this past summer through the Environmental Modeling course, which I really enjoyed so will definitely use Unreal in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for work that inspires me I’d probably say games like Cyberpunk 2077 or GTA V just based off of the level design & art in the games. I really like the cyberpunk aesthetic & open worlds so I would love to be able to create similar looking world to Cyberpunk 2077. As for GTA like I said I like open worlds, I also really enjoy cars so I would love to create a worlds meant for high speed driving similar to GTA V and also would love to be able to create the cars themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was the level designer on this project, we were a 3 person team, a programmer, artists & designer (me). I was in charge of designing the level itself and putting everything together. This game was built in one full WPI term with the purpose of producing a polished portfolio ready game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becker College Game Studio – Journey to Blackwood (Unity Engine)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journey to Blackwood is a 2D platformer I worked on along with a group of 12 students. I was mostly a level designer & game tester, I worked on the project for a total of two semesters before Becker College closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
