d3t welcomes Reuben Gill, Build Engineer

14th Feb 2023

Tell us a bit of information about your experience/career background?

Many moons ago, in 2011 I joined the IT department at TT Games. I learned a great many things during my time in the department but ultimately decided to take a turn away from IT and head a little further towards game dev. Recently during 2022, I spent the year primarily working on my own projects in Unity and pondering what the next generation of video games might look like.

Why d3t?

I’ve heard numerous reports of how great a place d3t is to work at, and what’s more I already know a good number of folk in the team too.

This role is also a great opportunity for me to gain new skills and experience, whilst also being in close proximity to many fantastic projects. Needless to say, I am excited to be a part of the team.

What do you love about games?

We live at a time where the Earth in most cases has been explored and technology isn’t quite there yet to explore space. Games bring the opportunity to do both while getting caught up in stories and adventures with others…

I love space, technology, and adventure, so naturally games like Kerbal Space Program where you can do all three for the cost of a take-out, is a big win for me.

What games are you currently playing, and what is your favourite game?

Star Citizen is a project that I am following closely whilst also being quite involved with the community. Again, space + game = empty wallet.

However, the next game on the horizon for me is KSP 2, the sequel to Kerbal Space Program which adds multiplayer. I can’t wait for some more crazy fun trying brute force a space station into existence with friends.

Do you have any fun facts or hobbies?

I’ve lived all around England, the South-West, the North-West, the Midlands, and the South-East. So, if you can’t place my accent, you now know why.

I also spent a little time in the UK Armed Forces and used to play the piano and trumpet. At home I also have a room (aka mess) that is dedicated to all kinds of electronics and DIY physics.
