Games: The Army Game Studio’s Virtual Training Environment

Becoming a software developer for the “America’s Army” video game at the U.S. Army Game Studio was an unlikely career choice for Matt Roberts, who was not a “big gamer” growing up. But after serving as a soldier in the Army, Roberts was drawn to this career as a way to empower others.

“I was looking around for what I could do and found that I wanted to keep helping soldiers to do their jobs. Simulations training in virtual environments was a great opportunity to do that,” Roberts said.

Roberts served in the Army as a combat medic, and after a tour in Iraq, he attended a graduate program at Southern Methodist University which led him to his current position as a software developer at the Army Game Studio.
