Have you always dreamed of becoming a game developer? We interviewed 3 developers at the gamescom 2019 about their jobs. Is it really a dream job?
Game developer is the dream job for many young people. Developing a cool game, playing a lot on the side, and most importantly, having fun at work all the time. This is how many people envision the job.
At gamescom 2019, discussions were held with 3 developers to discuss whether being a game developer is indeed a dream job.
How tough is the job of a game developer really?
Watch this video: Here we embed the video of the entire conversation. Over 20 minutes were spent talking with 3 developers:
Who was there? 3 German developers took the time to talk about this topic:
- Gina Vörde (KING Art Games)
- Thomas Peter Paul (KING Art Games)
- Caspar Michel (Rockfish Games)
What topics are discussed? There is generally a lot of talk about the profession and the tasks of a game developer. Some prejudices about the job were raised.
There was also talk about crunch phases, which are times when the game is being finished and numerous overtime hours are put in.
If you have always planned to become a game developer later, the 3 devs give you a good overview of the job.
