"I hope I haven't scared you away of being a game programmer" Dude you made me more excited for it than I've ever been. This is the dream life.

Thanks for the insighs jason.....whats the scope or remote or indian scenario of gaming industry

This was a very informative and practical video. I have been published traditionally and independently. It's nice to know that this could eventually turn into a full or part-time career. Thanks

nice video i learned a lot

Oh I love it, they last minuite is just "there are no jobs".

thank you was very helpful this will help me

thank you so much for being so much practical

I applied for a LQA position at a Japanese company to test for Spanish translation, specifically Mexican Spanish. I am from Mexico and I have always loved Japanese culture and this is my second time in this beautiful country. I really hope I get this job, this would be a dream come true 😭✨

Just imagine... A child replacing a woke adult localiser.

Can't wait to localise English games into Dutch, so much dutchies are missing out on great games because they can't understand English, I can finally fix that.

Thank you for the thorough explanation. Please tell me how to convince an employer in my resume that I am good at teamwork when I was a freelancer in the past.

@3:37.... 2016?

When you said write stories, are we talking full fledged novels or just a very detailed outline? Or even many outlines for the different aspects of the story?

This is really useful to understand how should I focus my carrer👍👍

"If you've got what it takes already then their shouldn't be any reason to settle for less." In my experience this is so far from the actual truth. And I hear people say stuff like this all the time, If you do good work and have a good portfolio that's all that matters, but the truth is that is not all that matters. Most if not all job postings want you to have x number of years experience WORKING in the game industry, many say you need to have release x number of AAA titles. There are many other requirements that are very much related to actual working experience in the game industry. I have extensive experience in product visualization. And I use 90% of the same pipelines and process as someone in the game industry. Yet I have been rejected time and time again where the reason given to me for rejection is that my experience does not align with the job requirements. Now I understand that I'm not going to get a lead character artist position, my skills just aren't there yet. And I'm not going to get a position modeling or texturing stylized assets because all of my experience and work are with realism. I can objectively evaluate my own work, and I know where I excel and where I need to working on things. I'm self taught, and I wouldn't be able to progress if that weren't the case. On top of that I can handle learning new pipelines and process very quickly. So when I hear statements that basically say if your work is good then you should have no problem getting a job equal to your skill level in the game industry well that doesn't jive with what I have experienced as a 3D Artist. Here's my portfolio, in case you think I'm full of myself. JoshMcCann.Art

I was thinking of minoring in computer science and majoring in creative writing. I would love to work in the gaming industry as a writer/designer. Thoughts?

Thank you for the podcast and a wonderful interview with Mr. McDevitt (bookedmarked on my computer). I'll go listen to other podcasts now.

Thanks for the amazing insights 👍

Great Video. But I'm wondering what can I fill out in my work experience as I just completed my university and applying for a graduate programmer role !?

Damn, I wish more people had seen these, it would have been an even better series as it continued. Tho most questions were answered there is potential to talk about so much more.

Thank you for this video

Great content! Thank you.

Thanks for getting to the point on this, whenever I think of writing I think of writing, I didn't realize it but I have performed technical writing for bugs on subnautica, tf2 and other's. I am going to tweak my resume to hopefully stand out.

Thank you so much for this

thanks for this short but helpful information.

Hi Sir what do you think is the hourly rate for this job?

Thanks

What if I was enrolling into a school that offers a Computer Science degree but does not major in game development would it still help?

I can painfully relate with Indigo. Really appreciate the response. You deserve more followers.

This seems like Very solid advice and is something I will definitely be following (as well as your channel!) and recommending, thanks Jason!

this series is excellent

this is shit tbh

would a specific game design degree be more helpful to get you into the game industry though?

hey jason... how about i start networking with you, im interested in en>spanish localization

I've read some sources that you don't get paid any overtime for those extra hours. Perhaps Jason can address this concern.

Really good video! Thank you for making it! I will keep those things in mind while writing my CV and looking for new job in some game industry related company.

Great overview. As a game design student I completely agree with this. If you know you want to be a game designer and can afford collage then go for it but know it's not the only path. Many of the professors I had went to school for sichology or computer science before they became designers. The lead designer of sonys spiderman was a writer before he started in games.

I got a question, am working on writing a game and want to know where the best state to go for the path of being a game writer

Localisation Market in Russia is on the rise as well, but I think that we are still figuring it out. Whenever I play games I try to compare what a character says with translation given with in subtitles and there is definitely room for improvement. I'll do my best to to try and improve the situation, thx for the info!

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you! Very helpful

Thank you. This video is giving me confidence :)

Thanks Jason, very interesting!

Thanks the podcast helps me a lot

Massively underrated. Tysm ;)
