Luke Haslett

I’m a lecturer and active researcher with an academic background, and keen personal interest, in designing games. Whilst my specialities lie with game design, I’m predominantly an expert when it comes to analysing and developing design solutions for narrative, UI, UX, XR, boardgames, and systems design.

I myself am an alumnus of Staffs, having graduated bachelor’s and master’s programs with the highest attainable grades, before going on to successfully land a PhD scholarship. During my research I’ve furthered the way games design is utilised by exploring interdisciplinarian approaches with narrative, natural language interaction and human-computer interaction fields.

I’ve also received multiple honours and awards as an undergraduate, as well as being fortunate enough to secure a position to represent Staffs as a game designer in a nationally recognised Tranzfuser game development competition.

Additionally, I have previously been a featured writer for the industry leading website Gamasutra, where I wrote a comprehensive guide for game development groups undergoing the university experience. My work here has also been used in the formulation of game development courses at other universities.
