A: Many game developers begin their careers with internships as well. Consider pursuing an internship at a gaming studio to start making professional connections and building hands-on experience. You might also apply for non-development roles at gaming studios to get your foot in the door and start learning the ropes.

A: Employers typically expect games designers to have at least two years' work experience within the industry. Ideally, this experience should be with both free-to-play (F2P) and premium or AAA games across a range of platforms. One way of building up experience is to participate in game jams.


A: Think about games you like to play. First thing's first, you have to figure out what types of games and platforms you're interested in making

Learn the programming languages
Practice using game engines.
Get portfolio-worthy experience
Refresh your resume
Express your passion for gaming


A: Like any other industry, in gaming soft and hard skills are highly valuable. While knowing and staying up-to-date in the industry, its development platforms and programming languages are a must, teamwork, creativity, leadership, diplomacy and communication are also essential for making it far in the gaming industry.

A: For video game developers, life can be tough. The working hours are long, with vicious bursts of so-called “crunch time,” in which developers may pull consecutive all-nighters in order to finish a project—all without overtime pay.


A: “Although it is continually growing, the game industry is a competitive one…it is nearly impossible to get a game designer or producer job without prior development experience…if you have a portfolio of work you've done on your own, and many people have entered the game industry through entry-level jobs…”


A: Video Game Developer Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in software engineering or computer science
Experience with full-cycle game design
Proficient with programming languages, including C++, Java, and C
Experience building libraries and APIs
Knowledge of the latest gaming trends
Strong artistic and technical skills


A: While ZipRecruiter is seeing annual salaries as high as $156,500 and as low as $35,500, the majority of GAME Developer salaries currently range between $80,000 (25th percentile) to $122,500 (75th percentile) with top earners (90th percentile) making $146,500 annually across the United States.


A: Video game development is typically seen as a highly coveted career, especially for those with an established love of video games. Let's take a look at some of the educational recommendations and skills you can build that could make you more competitive in your job search.

A: A bachelor's degree in video game development, computer science, or computer programming takes about four years to complete. Some game developers may learn through shorter bootcamp programs or teach themselves, which takes less time.
