I've been asked by a few people to share my experience about going from well known AAA studios like Blizzard and WB, to a smaller lesser known studio like Bit Reactor. The truth is that there isn't too much difference if you're motivated, looking to improve and most importantly you have good managers, leaders, and colleagues. I view managers like I view insurance companies. Everything is cool when there are no problems. It's only when problems arise, you see who you're really dealing with. Whether it's a small or large studio, a bad manager will kill your experience and your growth. At WB and Blizzard I was given quite a lot of freedom by the Leads and the AD. I initially had to prove myself before this happened, but with hard work and showing that I was dedicated to not only improving myself, but improving the team, I was allowed to investigate new pipelines for the character team. They started out small and grew in size over the year I worked there. In slight contrast at Bit Reactor, I was given that freedom instantly. The major difference is you share a bit more work and because of that, it's harder to hide. But the experience can be quite similar to larger studios. When you're at a smaller company, there is often an expectation that you're going to share more of the workload because a company with a smaller headcount means there just has to be more problem solvers. Smaller companies can't eat the cost like a large AAA studio can, so that freedom to investigate and improve pipelines is earned pretty quickly. If you're at a larger company and want to stand out, looking for pain points in production, finding ways to fix them, and sharing that knowledge with the team is a great way to show that you're thinking about more than just yourself or your portfolio. If you're at a smaller company, see above paragraph. It's the same but just with fewer team members. If you've read this and have a different experience, tell me. Sharing this kind of stuff is important as people evaluate studios in this very rough time in our industry. As always keep pushing for interviews, connecting with people, and building those "bridges". Investing in yourself is going to pay off for future you. ❤️ #aaa #videogames #indiegames

A recent month-long research journey has completely transformed my perspective, all thanks to Maa Kali. Engaging in game story discussions led to pondering and even dreaming about it.

Brace yourself for a journey like no other, where mythology meets innovation, and gaming reaches new heights. Jai Maa Kali! Embracing Darkness: The Divine Grace of Maa Kali ( Title Release)

Welcome back to Aviator Insights, where we ask our colleagues about their role and history! Today we have Craig McCarthy a UK-based Producer! What is your role and how it works? I'm a Producer! So my job is to work with our fantastic development teams to plan, execute, and deliver features for our project - on time, in full, and to the highest possible quality. Generally, I'm spending most of my time in spreadsheets, in JIRA, facilitating the team, as well as playing our game regularly. I'm in constant communication with different teams and people to ensure dependencies are taken care of and our work is on track. I absolutely love my job, particularly working with so many different departments and seeing it all come together. How did you get started in Gamedev? Oh man, my journey has been a bit of a wild one so far. I've been in love with games since I was super young. I ended up getting started in development as a teenager, making mods for PC games (like the Star Wars Jedi Knight series!), where I learned so much and got involved in different development communities. However, at university, I felt there was more opportunity in web development at the time and pursued a successful software development career for 7 years at a start-up in Merseyside. However, it just did not scratch that itch I had to make games. So I pivoted the management skills I'd developed in web/software, moved away from my hometown of Liverpool, and finally made the move into professional game development in 2019 - joining Team17 for 2 great years, before making the move to People Can Fly back in 2021. What’s your favorite game of all time and why? It might be cliché, but my favourite game of all time is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. A true childhood favourite and an inspiring classic that remains influential to this day. The audio, the visuals, the ground-breaking action gameplay, horse riding... time travel! It had everything I wanted (and more) to get lost in an incredible world. I attribute some of my critical thinking skills to this game - as a 7-8-year-old, it was SO satisfying to solve a tricky puzzle.... although don't get me started on that pesky water temple! If you want to get to know more #Aviators and get some insights into #gamedev, stay tuned for more!

Meet our founding team—Mark Tucker! Mark is our Game Director, with past works including popular titles Halo 4 or Fallout 76. 🚀 Why Did you start T-Minus Zero Entertainment? Starting a studio and being the creative vision holder for a AAA action game has always been something I’ve wanted to do. I have had the idea for this game for many years, which I have always known was VERY ambitious and would require a great team to make it. Well, I think the stars have aligned! We have an excellent group of founders & leadership, a very experienced and talented dev team and a proven strategic partner in NetEase. All of that combined gives me confidence we will deliver a great game to our players. 🚀 What is your role at T-Minus Zero? I am the Game Director, which means I am the vision holder for the first game we have in development. Ultimately, I am accountable for making sure we deliver an amazing game that provides a fun and enjoyable experience for our players. I am also responsible for creating the new IP for our game. This means I must do a lot of work to communicate the vision in my head to the rest of the team and provide the right amount of high-level guidance to unleash their creativity and talent! 🚀 What is exciting and different here? It’s rare to have the chance to develop a new game along with a new IP in our industry, and I think everyone on our team has embraced this special opportunity. It’s great to be working with some of the most talented folks in our industry on a project we are all passionate about. 🚀 Why should players care about T-Minus Zero? I don’t expect players to care about TM0 just yet because I don’t think they have much to go on. For those that are interested now, I think the message is this: We are working hard to create something that one day, we want you and others to have fun and memorable experiences playing!
