Get In The Game 2020: Week Four

November 16, 2020November 16, 2020 Dan Dudley 0

Two more webinars last week with our Get In The Game careers events, both with a huge number of artists and coders joining us & setting a new record for Q&A sessions!

This week Andy & Dan from the Grads In Games team covered just what it takes for students to get their career started in the games industry, and were joined by guest speakers Greg Wisniewski, Lead Environment Artist at Sumo Digital, and Robin McFarland, Gameplay Programmer at Deep Silver Dambuster Studios.

Greg and Robin gave expert insight across games art and programming for our students, answering a huge amount of questions from hundreds of viewers! From deep technical insight on studio dev processes to tips on tools and techniques to focus on, the talks covered a range of things that will really help you to improve your employability and career prospects in such a competitive field.

Our speakers were also able to share their own experiential advice into working in games, as well as key insights into their own career journeys.

Overall, this now means we’ve brought this year’s talks to 2607 students from 86 different universities and colleges!

We had a couple of excellent Q&A sessions last week too, working our way though over 150 questions(!) from students about working in the games industry, from what life in industry is really like to current prospects for international students. We hope you all gained a lot of useful insight and will be putting your new knowledge to use across your work and portfolios!


We’ve got several webinars running over the coming weeks, covering many different aspects of careers in game development. We’ve coordinated with universities across the UK and Europe, so check with your lecturers to see if you’ve already got a session booked in for your course!

If you don’t have anything arranged with your university or college, you can find our full events listing here : gradsingames.com/events

Thanks to everyone who joined us last week, and we look forward to seeing everyone else in the coming weeks!
