Does the media realize that calling out disgusting bets on betting platforms followed by a statement of how much money exactly traded hands is the exact advertisement these betting platforms are hoping for??

Controversy is their MO, its how they draw in users. Best to ignore them.

Def the most horror-centric update yet for my yuri visual novel.

To me the entire thing just looks like Microsoft's AI branch is slowly taking over the company due to 'proven success' in the AI bubble factory; and they forced Phil and Sarah out. Phil took retirement to save face, pretending this wasn't forced.

It definitely wouldn't hurt to have some experience with the tools, concepts and software used in game dev.

Assembly programming and game modding are worth mentioning to support your interest claim in the position, but neither tend to be particularly significant parts of game engineering positions.

The latter. Or even reach out to the recruiter if you have contact details in the case of an automated message.

Game engines are all different, but they're not *so* different. Unless the job is highly specialized on e.g. Unity asset pipelines, or Unreal custom tooling, etc., it's probably more relevant that you have *some* experience with a game engine, than experience with the exact engine they're using.

Apply anyway! πŸ™‚

It's unfortunately impossible to know which items on a job listing are actual hard requirements, and which ones aren't.. πŸ˜•

Including a cover letter, hobby projects or other portfolio pieces can help you stand out.

Ask for feedback if rejected, so you know what you could work on.

Hard to comment on directly as it heavily depends on area and your standard of living. But don't let that stop you if you really want this. You can apply and do the math when you get an offer and take it from there. Literally not being able to afford rent is a pretty good argument to negotiate with.

We're the same people; most developers just want to make cool games; AAA, indie or anything in between.

We're lucky if we can land a job on either, and even luckier if it turns out to be stable for a couple years.

There are tens of thousands of indies making and releasing games every year.

We don't need the AAA part of the industry.

Indie dev here.

A lot of indie studios are burning down, they just don't make the news.

A lot of indie studios work on AAA games in the background, but that doesn't fit your narrative.

It's not AAA vs Indies, it's greed vs people.

Sit down and stop trying to pit devs against each other.

(also, make sure to search for 'Remote' and 'Europe' on gamejobs.co for location)

To be fair, I was employed while searching, so I could be fairly strict with what I applied to. But it does seem quite different now than 2019-2021-ish when everyone was struggling to hiring, rather than struggling to land a job πŸ˜”

@workwithindies.com is a good place to keep an eye on here, and gamejobs.co seems to be the most complete list of game dev jobs I've seen on a single website. But even then it took me the better part of a year to find a new job πŸ˜“

It's a bookmark, not a book mark, so no need to capitalize the M :)

Game exec tries curry, likes it, buys the curry house.

Says to staff: the pizza restaurant across the street is making 50Γ— your annual revenue, make pizzas now.

Staff complies, closes down for renovations, builds pizza oven, hires pizza cooks, reopens, pizza sucks ass. Exec burns down restaurant.
