Sample answer
“In my internship at a small indie studio, I was tasked with creating the character sprites for a platformer game with a two-week deadline. I prioritized the most critical assets first and used speed modeling techniques to streamline the process. I also collaborated closely with the programmer to ensure the assets fit the game mechanics. We successfully launched on time, and the feedback was positive, particularly about the character designs.”
