Hey, I just had my first day working at a game development company today. Ask me anything
>>382916812
ur nans basement working on hentai rpg maker games is not a game development or a company
>>382916869
That's more or less what I've been doing for the past 6 years, just replace rpg maker with an array of game engines I've had the chance to use. Today was my first time actually working in a real company at a real office
>>382916812

Bethesda, Ideas guy
>>382917040
I can't say what company, but it's a company making mobile games. They already have 2 relatively successful games released and I'm in the team making a third one.
I'm a programmer, working with UI and economy. Haven't done much yet though since I've only been here for a day.

OP confirmed for "dreamboy"

Is it one of those skinnerbox "Send a team of 5 against enemies, they fight, use abilities, and have ultimate abilities you can trigger," a Match-3 grid game, or something potentially interesting?
Does it pay well?
>>382917719
It's entry-level, so after paying for my rent, I have about $200 left.

It's similar to some other games out there, but I think it has a unique aesthetic and story. Even though it's more or less in early stages of development, I find it quite fun.

>How did you get the job?
I found a notice that they were hiring and sent my CV. Without waiting for a reply I waltzed into their office and they interviewed me on the spot.
>How much do they pay?
After taking away taxes and whatnot, roughly 800 euros
>How can I get a job?
Search for local companies you might want to work in and ask them if they have open spots
>Have you gone to university?
No, I'm a high school graduate
>>382919642
great so guess anyone over the age of 30 cant get into the industry now ffs, fucking high schoolers with no imagination or fucking design skills ffs
>>382921978
Why would a programmer need design skills or imagination? That's for the game designers and artists to handle.
And yeah, if you have no experience by the age of 30, you probably won't get hired.
