Get In The Game 2020: Week Six

December 1, 2020December 1, 2020 Dan Dudley 0

Three excellent webinars last week with our Get In The Game careers events, spanning games art and programming!

This week Dan, Andy & Rebecca 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 Booker, Game Lead at DPS Games; Kat Unsworth, Senior Character Artist at DPS Games; and Phil Owen, Head of Engineering at d3t.

Greg, Kat and Phil each gave expert insight across games art and programming for our students, with a deep range of insight both on studio processes and how students can best prepare to start their career in the games industry.

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.

We had three more packed Q&A sessions last week too, with each of our guests answering a whole range of questions from students, including great technical tips and insights into studio careers. 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!
