Andy Green is the Senior Technical Artist at Bossa Studios based in London. Andy’s role ranges from planning to effects work, to optimisation, to rigging, tool writing, animation and pipeline definition to name but a few.
Andy has worked on various games from the hilarious I am Bread to the hugely ambitious Worlds Adrift. With 3+ Bafta nominations, 1 Bafta win, 3+ Eurogamer exhibitions, 6+ games and too many game jams to count, Andy has seen Bossa grow from a small two-person team to a 100+ strong games studio.
I was lucky to speak to him at Game Anglia a few years ago. The footage was lost for years but has now been recovered.
