How is that possible? There was no competition at all?
- qiine 1y agothis is surprisingly not that uncommon
- koakuma-chan 1y agoCan you elaborate? Depends on the country I guess, but generally any game dev job posting has hundreds of applicants.
- qiine 1y agoI have seen it for entry level game design position for example. but more generally, people that want to try the game making adventure one way or another is kind of a recurrent theme in the industry.
- jayd16 1y agoIn a technical or managerial role your core skills are most important. An online game has "boring" login/account services and web pages, customer service portals, internal tools etc etc, that are very similar to any other web company. A person with no game experience might be able to break in by simply taking a title demotion for a bit and be competitive.
