An Afternoon With… Gareth Harwood

To wrap up such a busy month full of events, this Wednesday we hosted An Afternoon With… Gareth Harwood, Technical Art Director at Playground Games.

It was a very interesting talk where Gareth went into detail about many aspects of the creation of the visually stunning Forza Horizon 4: the cars, the four seasons you’ll experience throughout the game, the buildings, roads, the foliage and even what went into creating the beautiful skies. They really did go the extra mile!

After the talk, and accompanied with some refreshments, the attendees had the opportunity to chat a bit more with Gareth and also Nick Duncombe, Resource Manager at Playground.

Huge thanks to Gareth Harwood, Nick Duncombe and Playgrounds Games for an awesome evening!
