THE FORMER Head of Design of a major gaming company who worked on the multi-award-winning LEGO Games recently held a Q&A session at Coleg Llandrillo in Rhos-on-Sea.

Arthur Parsons was Head of Design at TT Games until 2021, when he left to start his own business, 10:10 Games.

TT Games are known for their BAFTA award-winning LEGO video game franchise, which is itself based on the different LEGO film franchises, covering stories such as Star Wars, Batman, Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings.

Upon meeting students of Coleg Llandrillo, the now Design Director fielded questions from students as he recalled his 25 years in the gaming industry, giving a talk on his career to date, his day-to-day business, current games in development, and his tips for those interested in a future in the industry.

Mr Parsons said: “I was delighted to be able to visit the students at Coleg Llandrillo.

“They asked a range of probing questions and I was delighted with both their enthusiasm and breadth of knowledge.

“I was impressed with the college’s facilities and also the Games Development course structure.”

Coleg Llandrillo Games Development tutor Rob Griffiths, who used to work under Mr Parsons at TT Games, said: “This was an extremely valuable visit for our Games Development students.

“It was a fantastic opportunity to be able to see how the industry works from an insider’s point of view.

“A very informative talk, it was great to hear from a giant of the industry who has now left to start his own business.

“His guidance and feedback on portfolio will be extremely useful to our learners."
