Caroline Trujillo Senior Development Director Criterion Studio
Need for Speed – Guildford
For more than fifteen years we’ve entertained millions of players around the world with our award-winning games. Our talented people have expressed their passion for world-class game feel, AAA audiovisual quality and technical innovation in the Burnout and Need for Speed series as well as in Battlefield 1, Star Wars X-Wing VR, Starfighter Assault and Arcade for Star Wars Battlefront II and Firestorm for Battlefield V. With exciting plans for the next Need for
Speed title, we have these amazing opportunities for talented developers who can help us build an innovative Need for Speed experience.
I JOINED Criterion during the pandemic, remotely. The majority of the studio was working on Battlefield when I joined, while I started on Need for Speed. It’s always challenging to join in these unusual times. Criterion attracted me with their
promise to create a safe environment, where people come first, where talent is nurtured and appreciated, and where improving “the way things are done” is a goal. Seven months later, I am not
disappointed with Criterion. I am not naturally an optimist, maybe
it’s my 28 years in the industry that has created rough-edges in my expectations. I have previously worked in some
challenging environments, some “toxic”. So I know what I have here at Criterion, I am happy to be a part of this group of compassionate leaders, managers, and service staff. Criterion works every day to adjust to
the changing needs of development, to meet the challenges brought by Covid, and to be of service to an enormously talented group of game developers.
I’M A Technical Animator at EA Criterion (Guildford) and just wrapped up on Battlefield 2042 and now gearing up to start work on the new Need For Speed in 2022. I’m originally from Cape Town, South
Africa and joined EA Criterion in August 2020. As a long-time Need For Speed fan, it’s been a dream come true really! I think the thing I’ve enjoyed most
is not being limited in my role. When I started, we were working on tools and tech around our Animation and Cinematics pipelines. On Battlefield, I was given the opportunity to work on shaders for characters, vehicles, weapons and water. Now returning to NFS, I’ll be involved in animation, content pipelines and tools, there’s just been so much opportunity to learn and try new things! As a studio, I think I’ve been most
impressed by Criterion’s focus on supporting us during the pandemic. From mental health services, regular calls with our managers, our TA team outings, making games is hard at the best of times and it feels like a lot of effort goes into keeping us supported and feeling like we’re part of a community, even though we’re all working from home. I’ve also loved being involved in our
LGBTQ+ ERG and promoting inclusivity at our diverse studio!
