Session Name:

Career Microtalks: External Game Development as a Career Path

Overview:

With video games' scale becoming larger than ever, External Development has become a necessary part of commercial game development for both AAA and Indies. However, the world of external development as a career path is often very opaque. The Microtalk aims to shine some light on this lesser-known part of the industry and share information like the career path of external developers and how you can join; What is day to day like for external developers vs internal project development; the skills that will help one to succeed in the world of external development, and the unique challenges and joy we encountered in external development work. The talk would benefit anyone in game development who is interested to know more about external development.
