Cover letter

Having completed the Degree in Videogame Design and Development, I am writing this letter to present myself as a potential candidate for a job, as I am now ready to enter the professional world.

As a result of the training period developed in the Degree, I am prepared in many areas of videogame creation. Specifically, I am trained in 3D and 2D design, modeling and animation, as well as in videogame and database programming, in writing and localizing narrative stories and scripts, and in business management in videogame creation. Although my main focus, and what my Final Degree Project will be based on, has been 3D design and modeling.

More precisely, I develop my experience in each field named above.

Regarding 3D modeling and animation, I have used applications such as Blender, 3DS Max, Maya, Mudbox, AutoCad or MotionBuilder. After these years I have modeled objects and buildings, with its previous study in AutoCad, from scratch, in addition to modeling the musculature and face of people, and animate characters in Unity and MotionBuilder. As part of my Final Degree Project, I modeled and animated a humanoid character, their weapon and many assets using Blender, with the goal of integrating them into a real-time 3D environment in Unity.

As for 2D design and animation, I have used applications such as Krita, Adobe Illustrator, GIMP or Adobe Photoshop. In this case my creations have been multiple, for example, art for specific works or for different videogames made during the career, such as scenarios, landscapes, characters and buildings. For animation, I have experience with bone and sprite animation among others.

Regarding programming, I have worked with several languages. I consider that I can handle languages like C#, C++, phaser, html, css, SQL, python or JavaScript. During these years I have programmed several videogames created from scratch, applications, web pages, such as my own page where you can find my portfolio and exercises focused on objects, mathematical problems or videogames.

About the writing and localization of narrative stories and scripts, I have developed two complete storylines: one for an interactive horror adventure game and another for an action-adventure title with elements of gore and logical puzzles. In addition, I created a short narrative specifically for my Final Degree Project, which served as a conceptual and thematic base for the character and environment I designed. I have also worked on the localization of the simulation and management game League Manager 2023, as well as various animations and video content.

In addition to all this, during the second and third year of my degree, I participated in the Formula Student project of the University. In it I was working in the communication department, carrying out all the non-mechanical design. During those two years I was in charge of redesigning the team's website and keeping it constantly updated, designing the equipment, banners, roll-ups, canvases, videos for the single-seater presentations and other tasks related to graphic design. Also, the first year, I designed the distribution of sponsors on the car and in the second year I was given total freedom to make the livery of the car.

To finish each year in Formula Student, the team presented the cars in different competitions that I had the opportunity to attend. In these competitions you have to do different tests with the car, but you also have to present a Business Plan. In the latter I had an active participation developing it and presenting it to the judges of the competition in English.

Finally, I would like to mention that I have a good level of English, obtaining the official Trinity B2 certificate with experience in projects, classes, in the above mentioned, the exposure of the Business Plan in competition and trips abroad with host family.

As my studies and portfolio shows, I am passionate about videogames and their creation, being for me a pride to be able to dedicate myself to what I like and continue learning and improving to be able to develop this and in this world.

I consider myself a proactive person, constant and perfectionist in my work, and it would be a pleasure for me to expand my professional training and skills.

For this, I show you everything in more detail at https://pedrohapersonalweb.neocities.org/ and do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,
