What does a Game Developer do?
Programs gameplay, UI, physics and performance for mobile, PC or console games, mostly in Unity (C#) or Unreal Engine (C++). Works with game designers, artists, animators and QA testers to build and ship games and live updates.
A typical day: You start with a stand-up with designers and artists on the current sprint or live-ops update. Much of the day goes into coding gameplay features, integrating art and animations, and profiling frame rate on test phones. You fix bugs reported by QA and prepare builds for internal playtests or store release.
How people get in: B.Tech/B.E. in CS or a degree/diploma in game development, plus a portfolio of playable games; Unity or Unreal skills matter more than the degree.
