Part-time teacher era, I announced to a class that I will stop to be their teacher because the school did not pay me after 3 months.
Rumor spreaded fast, and I was paid the day after.
A lot of good artists will never find a job because they count only on their talent/hard work while they are not good at this one softskill: networking.

Friends worked on this project, and exactly like the first one, they told me it was absolutely awful. They did not know two weeks before the release if they would be able to finish it.
It is not because a project is gorgeous or wholesome the work conditions are good.
At a Gamestop:
-Hi I want to buy BotW
-You mean TotK?
-No no, I never played any Zelda on Switch, I want to try this one before.
-Wow, you are 6 years late man!
I play at my own pace I don't feel the need to play every hype game day one.
Dear students.
I discussed with the student I mentor and NO, you don't need to come from a well known "videogame" school to work as gamedev.
We look at your folio, NOT your diploma.

As a gamedev, I wish one day to have an awards show where gamedevs can speak longer than 30 secondes.
Congrats to the teams! For real, your projects look amazing!
But TGA has never been a show to celebrate the game industry.
Embracer says it's looking out for shareholders after canceling 42 projects and laying off almost 1400 employees.
"Our overruling principle is to always maximize shareholder value in any given situation."

I'm a simple rage man.
I see AI images, it fills me up with anger.
So I do more art. Because it is fun, I need it, and it feels like I say fuck to tech bros.
Never give up on art.
Junior: happy to be here
Mid-level / intermediate: starts to understand what chaos they put there fingers in
Senior: embraced the chaos
Lead: tries to organize chaos through meetings

Junior
Mid-level / intermediate
Senior
Lead
Associate / principal
Perhaps with samples of how work should look quality wise
I admit I was a bit surprised by the Hip hop, Dreadlocks, black vibe of that new Prince of Persia. I wouldn't say I didn't like it but it felt misplaced.
Persian/Iranian music would have set a better mood for the reveal
Please no more layoffs after merging two big companies please no more layoffs after merging two big companies please no more layoffs after merging two big companies please DON'T

Redfall is launching on Xbox consoles with Quality mode only:

I met a guy one day.
He's like a beast in his field, and regularly, he says "no" to the "lead" position to stay senior.
He knows he would be a BAD lead.
Having a promotion is not always the good move to do.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson says there's a "real hunger" among developers to use generative AI to speed up development.
More than half of EA's development processes can be "positively impacted" by AI, Wilson claims.
Gamedevs only want two things:
-Don't be harassed by people who have the feeling to know our jobs better than us because they guess this "huge place with red barrels will be filled with mobs in a second, too predictable omg".
-Pizza.
