Engineering Roles in Game Dev
·719 words·4 mins
Getting into Game Development # I was approached to do a student talk at the University of Limerick for students of the Games Development course. For context, it’s a computer science/engineering course with a focus on games development. I’m an alumni myself, graduating in 2019, and have been working in games since then.
I asked myself what kind of advice I would give my past self when starting on this road. There’s a mountain of skills to learn, technical skills, time management, collaboration, and more. As a student you’re relying on the course structure and modules to provide you with the direction you need, but as great as the course was, for me it was missing one thing.
