The ultimate career advice for newcomers in game development:
Build long-term relationships with your peers.
In this industry, connections are everything.
The gaming industry might seem big, but it is like a “small village.”
You’ll keep running into the same people in surprising ways as your career progresses.
Here’s why relationships matter:
• You never know where your peers will be in 10 years, or where you will be.
• A single connection can open (or close) big doors down the road.
• Opportunities often come from those you’ve worked with before.
So, here’s what to do:
• Stay in touch with former colleagues.
• Keep your promises and always follow through.
• Help others whenever you can.
The relationships you build today can lead to unexpected opportunities tomorrow.
