What got you into this industry?

I first got associated with the CubeCraft team by joining their design department in 2018. Through this we built up a good relationship and I started to learn the internal processes of the company. Throughout school I have competed stock market challenges, student investor challenges and school bar mock trials. This ignited my interest in accounting leading me to work within PwC providing the corporate knowledge, corporate practises and upskilling to move to Business & Design Producer.

What got you into this industry?

Back in 2012 I downloaded Minecraft for the first time since a couple of my friends played it. After that I absolutely loved the game and played it from 2012-2015, I joined CubeCraft somewhere during 2015 but then took a 5 year break from Minecraft. The pandemic got me back to playing Minecraft after playing other various games such as Rocket league and OSU. I started to involve myself with the community more and decided to apply for helper. I was lucky enough to be accepted and ever since I have gave my best effort towards CubeCraft and eventually landed an admin position which was a dream come true as now I can truly give CubeCraft my best work possible.

Fun fact about you

I love to play football (soccer) and my favorite team is FC Barcelona!

Producer, Community & Volunteering

What do you do at the company?

As a Community and Volunteering Producer, I work alongside the associate producers in charge of ensuring things run smoothly within the volunteer teams (Helpers, Moderators, and Translators). I also assist in ensuring the community is a safe and welcoming environment. This position requires me to be aware of what all is going on and spot ways to improve in the efficiency of the volunteer team and overall safety/enjoyment of the team/community. It also requires me to be there to assist the associate producers when they need, as well as the volunteers in the team.

 

What got you into this industry?

Growing up, I was not into games too much. I played my fair share of DS/3DS games, but never dove into PC games or other console games much. However, Minecraft was one that always intrigued me, especially after watching youtubers play on it all the time. Due to this, I decided to purchase Minecraft myself and have been hooked ever since.

After joining Cubecraft, merging from the Chunk server, I was friends with several staff and developed a real heart for helping the community feel safe. Especially after my own run ins with users who were not always polite to me or my friends. This caused me to want to be a part of seeing the server thrive and helping to keep the environment a fun and friendly getaway from real life for a while.

This led me to applying to be a Helper in 2017 and since then have eagerly been taking on any work I can to help and see the server thrive. This passion is what helped me scale my way up to where I am now. The road from volunteer to producer only deepened my love for CubeCraft and my job. The whole experience so far has helped me to develop a better understanding for my strengths and weaknesses, as well as how to improve. It has been invaluable to me and I would not trade it for anything.

 

Fun fact about you

Asides from actually working, I have grown a passion for pretty much anything creative. I love to draw, write, sing and play guitar. This stems from my desire to challenge myself to learn new things or try something I never have before.

What do you do at the company?

I make and texture 3D models

 

What got you into this industry?

I’ve always loved video games ever since I was a child. My father and brother are both programmers so I’ve been surrounded by the industry my whole life. I think the first time I really considered being involved in video games was when I was 4 or 5 years old playing those free CD roms you’d get with cereal boxes! Crayola 3D Castle Creator (1998) will always hold a special place in my heart.

 

Fun fact about you

At the time of writing, I currently own 16 copies of Shadow the Hedgehog for the PS2. I’m also very good at fishing in World of Warcraft.

director, content

What do you do at the company?

I mainly focus on the management of our design content we put out on CubeCraft. I coordinate with the various teams involved, so we can get the coolest products out there!

What got you into this industry?

I’ve always loved playing games from a young age, just that feeling of escaping into a completely different world. My dream job was always to become a game designer. I had dropped out of university where I was doing graphic design and needed to escape again. Building in the game Minecraft was a hobby and a passion. I volunteered at CubeCraft to simply help. I followed my passion of creating content in Minecraft, as I truly believed the possibilities were endless and it could become something massive. I quickly adapted to different sectors of the business and worked my way up the ladder.

 

Fun fact about you

I have more plants than friends.
