Being a Video Game Developer Sucks (And Why I Do It Anyway)
No one's going to tell you this: the video game industry is broken. AAA games are in crisis, indie games have a 5% success rate, and universities sell you dreams without preparing you for the realities of the market. In this video, I'll tell you the unfiltered truth about being a video game developer, especially from Latin America.
I'll talk about:
The reality of the job market (1-2 month contracts, constant layoffs)
Why university degrees don't prepare you for what's coming
The brutal difference between dreams and reality
Indie vs. AAA: both have serious problems
But also... why I'm still in this and how you can do it intelligently
I'm not going to lie: it's hard. But if after this video you still want to do it, then maybe you have what it takes.
