About Me

Being convinced that game development was for me, I enrolled in the University of Advancing Computer Technology as soon as I finished high school. I majored in Multimedia, with an emphasis in Digital Animation and Game Design. In addition to a substantial load of traditional art courses, I was also exposed to more software than I even knew existed. However, I eventually settled in to Maya and Photoshop, which I currently use as my primary tools.

Since receiving my B.A. from the University, I have continued to work on my projects, as time and work allow. I have since worked as a graphic designer at OZ Development, Inc. in Westborough, MA, where I learned how to work within deadlines, in addition to greatly improving my 2D digital art skills. I am currently employed as a web content manager with Advanced Micro Devices.

	Welcome, and thank you for viewing my website. My name is Peter Wood, and I am a digital artist seeking employment in the games industry. I have been in love with games and art my entire life. In fact, I believe games are the greatest art form in existence. My adventures in game development began at age twelve, when I began to work on my brother’s shareware RPG Aspetra (pictured below). I was responsible for most of the world building, monster creation, and testing, as well as some of the sprite sets and music. We released the game about 3 years later, and it was received well by the shareware gaming community. Download Aspetra
