How to Get a Game Development Job - My Best Tips For Beginners & Experts

[Music] hey what's up Jason here and today we're gonna talk about something I think is important no matter where you are in your game development career and that's how to get a job we'll talk about how to get a job if you've never had one before in the industry or maybe you've got one and you're looking for new positions been laid off recently and also I want to talk about what it's like getting a job as a more senior and advanced developer we'll go through the process that I use and a couple of the tips that I like to recommend friends and other people and hopefully it helps you get a job in the future or just improve the one that you've got before we get started though I just wanted to say please if you don't mind share the video like it subscribe all of that stuff it really does help get the word out and let other people see what's going on and it kind of encourages me to keep recording and doing more so let's get started so when you're looking for a game job there are generally three different positions that are getting filled there's a programmer which is what I'll talk about a lot because that's what I do and what I know really well there's designers who do the game implementation and the design and then there's the artists who of course make the art there are of course other positions sound production testing lots of other things and I'll maybe briefly touch on those but the biggest ones that you're going to be applying for and what most of the positions are that are available are in those three it's either design art or programming now which one of those is easiest to get into is up for debate a little bit I personally feel like beginning getting a programming job is a lot easier than getting a design job but I also know designers who think that the idea of learning how to program could get a programming job is insane and doing the design stuff is super easy to get so let's start with the first step and that is that you actually have to have some idea how to do the job before you even go about the process of applying you need to know how to do the job you can't just go in and say hey I'd like to be a game designer I have no idea how to design games but I've played a couple before or I'd like to be a programmer but I've never really coded before or I did a tutorial once or twice and I just want to learn on the job that's not really an option in game industry there's a lot of competition and you need to be at the very least learning this stuff on your own before you're applying and relatively good at it and of course the better you are at it when you get started the better you'll do at these interviews and the more likely you are to get hired quickly so let's say you're in a position where you kind of understand the basics maybe you can create your own game you know your own little mini game you can make a little mobile game and put it together might not be the best thing but you can at least build a game and you've got some understanding of how to do things how do you get started there well there are a couple options the first is of course to just start sending out your resume to all of the different job openings and if you're not sure where to find those the best places I've found tend to be like gamma Sutras job forums unities a new system for jobs is pretty cool too I've looked on Reddit and some of the bigger job sites but generally the big job sites are pretty bad and you're not gonna find much for the junior stuff but gamma Sutra is a great place the better place though that I found for new developers who are just trying to get started but again can at least build a project and you know don't need to be completely handheld is user groups so this is definitely gonna be very regional where I am right now there are I think three or four unity user groups within a one-hour drive for everybody else that's of course gonna vary some people have to drive like two three hours to a group and they go once a month but if they're available in their local they are by far one of the best places to get a job as a new developer you don't have to be great at coding you don't have to be super experienced and you don't have to be super outgoing but you do have to actually show up and talk to people and the reason that these work out so well is that usually at user groups there are people they're recruiting I mean realistically the thing is that they're just people there who are looking for developers who are very interested in the job and interested in the community and the career there's a big difference between a developer who's you know maybe even gone to college learned how to code learned how to make some games and never talked to anybody never goes anywhere and doesn't do anything outside of that from from them to a developer who is constantly engaged with the community you're gonna see night and day difference in how easy it is to get a job the unfortunately the college education I'd say doesn't stack up as well as just the community involvement in the getting to know people talking to people when it comes to these beginning career with these beginning jobs now of course that changes as we get higher up but when it starts off just getting a job generally people want to know that when you're very driven you're interested in learning and you're gonna get good and that too you're just very interested in the job it's gonna be a passion for you it's gonna be something where you're gonna want to work on the thing you're gonna be driven to build better games or to improve things what you don't want to find is when you're hiring what you don't want is developers who like just kind of want to come in get the paycheck do the bare minimum and then get out and that's what you'll find a lot of the time outside the game industry I've seen that time just kind of endless and non game dev programming jobs you see probably about half the people there are just kind of there for the Paycheck they're doing what they need to do there 0% interested in the job they find it relatively boring the game industry that's very rare most of the people that I know that work in the industry do it not only for the money because it does pay pretty well even though people say it's bad it is and it pays pretty well but they do it because they just also love the job right you it there's nothing better than going to work and like being excited to go in and do this next thing or you can't sleep because you're excited to go to work and finish something or build some system that you're working on and some people might think that's crazy right but that's just because you don't have a job that you love that is also like the kind of thing that you would do as a hobby and that's where we're going with this that's what you want to be at when you get when you're getting into the game industry try to work towards having a job that you just love that is the kind of thing you would do for free if you were infant rich like that's kind of where I try to point my compass and what I aim at is like if I had unlimited money what would I be doing now can I figure out a way to do that and make enough money because it's not all unlimited so going to these user groups by the way isn't just enough you have to do more than just show up you're gonna need to go and actually talk to people like I said there are a lot of people there recruiting and you're not gonna know who's recruiting all the time without just kind of getting into conversations and the way it happens a lot of the time is you'll see a group of people or just kind of gather around it's kind of constrained it's it's a lot like being in a in a school you'll see a bunch of people gather around and just start talking about something and just kind of walk around and see if anybody's talking about something that sounds a little interesting and usually people will let you kind of join in on the conversation and now add something or just listen and learn sometimes they're people they're just kind of listening and then a lot of the time the jobs just come up people start asking about like hey do you know of any openings or more more often what I usually see is hey I've got this position I need somebody to fill it it's either a contract position like I've got this job that needs to be done or it's a I need to hire three new developers a junior or senior and a mid-level or two junior developers or whatever it is this is where those those happen the most so you'll see little parts and meetups where people will kind of go out and maybe publicly say hey I'm a recruiter from this thing and I'm looking for these positions and I see that at almost all of them near the beginning but then the bigger conversations and the best job opportunities come kind of at the end of the meet up when everybody is gathering around and just talking so if you go to these meetups don't just go sit stay silent and run right out the door as uncomfortable and weird as it may feel at first just kind of hangout chat and try to start talking to people and as you start making these contacts and meeting people you're gonna find that it gets dramatically easier to get a job because not only will people you know possibly give you job options right there or tell you about new openings that they have and invite you to apply to them especially if you start talking to them but if you become regular to these you start showing up all the time you're going to make friendships and connections here and then these people will reach out to you for jobs this happens I'd say all the time for me and just about all of the developers that I know personally that go to meetups either somebody else that we know is reaching out to them and offering them things or I do it myself all the time to if I'm at a meet-up and I've got an opening and I talking to somebody who seems like they may be a viable option I will definitely bring it up to them and start a conversation so I definitely just talk to people go to these things talk to people make some contacts just be nice don't be critical and don't be a jerk and it's pretty easy like that's literally the only rule like be nice and talk about code stuff ask questions if you got questions and people like to talk though give them the opportunity now if you don't have user groups available because that's definitely not an option for everybody there are some alternatives so if you can't get to a user group maybe it's like it's a two and a half hour drive each way and that's just a little bit crazy then what do you do well what I like is online chat stuff so I like things like not so much reddit but more discord chats slack channels it's mostly discord now though and making friends and contacts in those channels so I'll get in there and just you know make some friends talk to people answer some questions ask some questions and eventually people start communicating and you'll find job opportunities in there as well now you could if you're just a beginner you can skip past all of the answering questions and stuff and just go into these these discord chats and most of the time you'll find that they have a job section like some of the biggest game dev discards have their own job sections they're relatively active now I've got a discord channel that does not have a job section I don't think and if it does it's not very active but there are some that are really cool and if you guys know of any please just drop a link down below in the comments so that people can go check it out if you have a discord that's got lots of good job opportunities please share it there so that everybody can see it I don't want to bias it towards and but there there are a lot of them out there so far have mostly been talking about finding the jobs and meeting these people who actually are hiring and have the opportunities available but that's not the most important part once you've found the jobs you do have to actually go through some sort of an interview an application process and this is extremely easy to screw up it's very easy to make a big mistake here and disqualify yourself very very quickly now there are a couple ways that I've seen people do it the first is just to be lazy right like they'll send in a really crappy looking resume that looks like they just wrote it up in notepad that says hey I went to college I did one project in college and that's about it oh and I worked at the mall once and that's the entirety of their application and there's sending that in against a bunch of people who are doing a whole lot more and they're instantly just getting disqualified like you see that resume you're just gonna toss it I don't care what the college is if it's like you went to the nicest school ever still if your resume is just like I went to school learned how to make games did a school project I say you're we're gonna move on to the next one because it's not showing that drive and ambition it's not showing the excitement for the industry or the job and that's really what you want because you're hiring these people to work with you you don't want people that you're gonna have to constantly motivate and drive and get to do it you want people that are kind of bringing that energy in and helping you along the way and that might sound like you know you're asking a lot from a junior developer but if you have the option like you got the developer who's a badass and really really wants the job and really wants to work hard and do cool things or the one who doesn't you're gonna take it you're always gonna take the one that's better so you want to be the goal here is to be the better one be the best option so that your resume is the one that goes right at the top and you're the one that gets hired so a couple things that you can do for that the first is probably a bit daunting and that's create some sort of a portfolio now you might think like hey I don't know how to create a portfolio I don't know how to make web stuff I don't know how to maybe I don't even have anything to show most of the time first off the the website of it like hosting it online should be relatively straightforward it doesn't have to be anything advanced you can use some free hosting spend five bucks a month or five bucks a year and just get some decent hosting and just put up screenshots and descriptions and text of what you've done you don't have to make it look pretty because you can use a theme or a template that does it already but don't just go hey it doesn't matter if it's nice or pretty because this is the game industry like making things nice and pretty is part of your job so if you're gonna be you know you're gonna throw up a really shitty looking website you better have really good stuff on there to counteract that and instead just use a nice-looking template or a nice theme that kind of makes your portfolio pop a little bit more now if you don't have anything for a portfolio it's time to do a little bit of hackathon and game jam stuff so what you need to do is start looking for these things they happen all the time there's a little dare and like global Game Jam and probably I would bet there dozens of different game jams and game competitions that you can join in that lasts for anywhere from a day to a week where you're building out games in publishing them and showing them so doing this even if it may seem like okay I'm gonna make these really crappy things and they're not going to be impressive the fact that you did it and the other guy with the single page resume didn't set you aside already like it doesn't have to be the best thing it doesn't have to be the prettiest thing it's gonna be relative to your level so if you're jr. and you're really new as long as you've done it like the fact that you've shown that hey like this guy's constantly in game jams he's definitely into it or she whatever it's gonna make a big difference it's gonna huge huge difference and the other thing is that you want to be the guy that's not afraid to put your stuff out so if you're you know like hey I did a bunch of game jams but they were all terrible and I didn't want to show them to anybody that's not gonna help that's just gonna hurt so you want to put them up make them even if they're not great shehram now if you're a more intermediate level then these game jams may be more of a common thing for you might be used to it and you can probably put a more polish into them and in fact I'd say if you're at the intermediate level maybe you've got three four years of experience here then in your portfolio make sure that you're showcasing the things that look really nice don't just showcase everything in the order that you did it don't show your worst stuff first and even if you're beginning show your best thing first because most of the time that's what people are gonna go to they're gonna go to your portfolio they're gonna see the first thing they're they're gonna look at that and if that is terrible it may disqualify them from even going down to look at the nicer cooler thing so make sure that you put best foot forward and everybody can see the coolest stuff that you can do so this portfolio is gonna be a link to on your resume and ideally in a cover letter and then this is kind of important because if you're beginner and you're just getting started your resume is still even if it's done really nicely is gonna be pretty weak so you're gonna want to write a cover letter and a cover letter is just basically two paragraphs explaining why you want the job and how you think you can help there so if you leave either of those parts out and kind of doing yourself a big disservice you really want to explain like what it is about that job specifically that you think is exciting and interesting now don't write hey I'm really excited because I want to make a video game and I heard making video games is fun you need to actually do some research pay attention to the job that you're applying for and explain why you think that specific job at that company on whatever those projects might be interesting and fun and how you would like to contribute to that and how you'd like to make that better because right there your job is basically selling yourself that hey you should let me come in and help you make this better and if you're not doing that you're saying hey I just want money and I want you to teach me stuff then nobody's interested in that right nobody wants to pay you to teach you how to do stuff and to try to get you to do things they want to pay you to come in and do the things that they need done and to help them and learn with them and grow with them so make sure that you have a good cover letter especially if you're a beginner even if you're not a beginner if this is a job you really care about write something up it doesn't have to be long you don't have to give a whole life description nobody cares that you're going hiking with your dog or whatever it's just relatively unimportant info about you doesn't matter put the stuff that people care about the stuff that's gonna say how you can contribute to the team if you have a special interest in networking code and they would do multiplayer games okay I'm very interested multiplayer stuff I've been studying this and learning a lot about it and that's where I where I focus I don't let them know let them know the things that you're gonna do that are gonna help now let's talk about the resume so I briefly touched on this a couple times it needs to be good just like your portfolio needs to be well formatted and clean your resume should as well because again you're gonna be up against other ones and if yours looks like some crappy notepad doc that you threw together in five minutes and the other person looks like they've actually spent some time invested energy and putting their thing together and they've also modified it and customized it to the position they're gonna do a whole lot better so let's talk about customizing the resume to the position this is something that I resume recruiters will do all the time they know this stuff more experienced people applying for jobs you're gonna do this but say you've got a list of your skills right you've got like maybe it's a list of ten of the top things that you're really good at maybe one of them's unity one of them is maybe C++ or sequel server or rendering systems or physics systems networking systems right you've got this list of the things that you're really good at that are in your skills section when you're applying for a job reorganize that list don't because what happens is people see that list and innately you're going to just assume that the things at the top are the strongest and the things at the bottom or the weakest and I think it's just a natural side effect of humans and the way that we prioritize things we normally prioritize the biggest or best things at the beginning and then go all the way down so you want to put the things that are most applicable to the job at the top so if it's a unity specific job put unity at the top if you're good with unity and unreal I'll push unreal down a bit don't make it seem like you're at the same so it's the unity specific stuff if it's an unreal job flip that right around move the unity stuff way down put the Unreal stuff at the top if it's primarily doing physics stuff maybe it's a physics based game and you know that's what they're working on then focus on your physics experience if that's what you have that's what your skill set is well the point here is that you don't want to make up skills you don't want to add in things that you don't have but you want to rearrange and reorganize these things so that they make sense and that they show off the things that you're gonna bring the team first because that's again when you see a giant list of stuff you see the first thing that's the one that's gonna stick the best so you want that thing to be the most important and the most valuable now this same rule applies if you have lots of job experience on there and you've maybe listed off the different things that you've done for these companies don't rearrange the job order but rearrange those things that you've done so sometimes we'll list the different kind of accomplishments that we've made on the projects and if you know that some of those accomplishments align a lot more with the new job then make sure that you highlight those and bring those to the top because that's what's gonna get you again to the front of their mind so what about resume length this is another thing that I see people mess up a lot and that's that they end up just making it either way too short or way too long so a good length is generally one to two pages two pages is usually ideal it means that they've got enough experience there that it doesn't all fit onto a single page but they don't have just everything that they've ever done listed because nobody gives a damn all right you don't want to get too long on it and you don't want to get too short now if you're a junior developer just coming in no experience and I have wonder like what can I put on there again put those projects that you've done the same stuff that's on your portfolio explain them a little bit in there now I wouldn't explain one day little projects but if you've done anything that's of some significance you know you worked on it even for a week release that finished it put some info about that put your bigger school projects if you just did school projects put a little bit about that and what you did on the team specifically that really stood out the part that you really contributed to the most where you I think made the most impact is important to explain because you just say like hey I worked on a team with four people and made this game nobody knows if you were the guy who did everything or maybe you were the guy who just kind of sat in the corner and downloaded some sound every now and then didn't really contribute you need to actually show off and explain the parts that you really contributed to and if you're in school and just doing this stuff doing these projects don't just sit around and slack off on these things if you're just sitting around slacking off you're screwing yourself for the rest of your life you're making it harder for yourself if you don't enjoy it you don't like what you're doing I'd say find something else that you're gonna enjoy and love alright so let's say you followed my advice you went to some groups or you join some chats you found some job opportunities you sent in a great resume with a good portfolio and now it's time to interview this is another part where people generally struggle and I used to really hate this part the whole having to talk to people and justify why you were good enough to work there right it feels kind of crappy it's it's never really been something that I really loved or most people loved but there are some easy ways to make it a lot easier and make it a lot smoother and just kind of improve your odds here the first thing that I recommend and I really hate saying this but take some interviews for jobs that you're not a hundred percent sure you're sold on so maybe there are some jobs that like like ah I might want to work there maybe but it's probably not your dream job do those interviews first if you have the opportunity to apply for a lot of jobs and you're getting any callbacks on these try to do the interviews for the jobs in I guess reverse priority order so do the one that you care about most last the main reason for this is that you'll get more comfortable as you go through the process even if for somebody who like has a job and hasn't interviewed in five years going through that process two or three times on jobs where you're not so stressed out about it can be a whole lot easier for the final one where it's like hey this is the job I really care about it doesn't mean that you're gonna mess certainly get the job that you care about or that you should turn down the other jobs but I found personally that the stress level on applying for a job that you don't really care too much about is almost zero like if you're not like you know you're gonna be sad and pretty unhappy if you don't get the job and you're going into it you know as long as you're not financially strained or anything it's usually a lot easier process and then you can get a lot more comfortable just talking to people answering the questions and getting used to the questions and you'll find that a lot of the time almost all of the time the questions are very similar you're gonna have overlap in just about every interview I don't think I've ever had an interview that didn't have questions that I had heard in previous interviews now this would be some new stuff every time but a lot of the time it's a lot of repeat of the same kinds of things like what have you done how would you solve this problem and what was some problem that you had to solve before and that's one that it's kind of a boring question I think but it's a one that pops up every time if they're gonna ask you what was a problem that you had to solve and how did you solve it and you want to have a good answer for it and you should probably have more than one because sometimes they'll ask you for another one or just not like your answer and things like this could just be like hey you know we're working on this game and we noticed that the build times were really slow so I found a way to improve the build times by 50% or I found a workflow issue with our game designers and was able to improve it dramatically with this thing or found some thing that we couldn't implement and I figured out some special solution by looking on Stack Overflow or reaching out to this one person that knew these things and learning with stuff so you want to have a couple examples just kind of ready and they don't have to be amazing examples but you don't want to try to come up with them on the fly because it's a whole lot harder like you know when you're in that interview situation you're already usually surrounded by two or three other people that you don't know who are critically interviewing you asking you you know trying to trying to disqualify you essentially so you want to make sure that you're ready that you have the answers for the things that are going to be commonly asked there another thing that comes up very often our basic algorithm questions now if you're really fresh out of college sometimes these are very easy if you've been working in a gamedev job and it's been five years since you had to look at these questions I generally recommend doing a little bit of research on them and just kind of going through some of the the more common algorithm questions but I don't have a whole lot of advice here because I really just hate those questions in general I think that most of the time they're they I guess they I would say that they they give incorrect info they'll tell you that somebody knows an algorithm but not that they know exactly when they should use that why they should use that and all of the times that they shouldn't use it it also doesn't tell you that they know how to make a game I found a lot of the time people will really really be good at algorithms and then you'll look at their code and just like holy crap like there's a really nice algorithm in there but the code is completely unreadable and completely useless and that's something that I'm I like to stress a lot just in interviews when I talk to people about who know what a border my preferences and one of the big things is having good clean readable understandable code and if you're talking in an interview about that make sure that you know if that's the kind of thing that you like and think is important which you should especially if you're watching this channel make sure that you stress those things that you know like you're focused on very clean code reusable components making stuff that is extensible and not gonna break and ideally even unit testable some other interview strategies so learn who you're interviewing with and this is a huge one that's extremely easy and kind of separates out the lazy people again you will almost never get an interview request without the name of the interviewer and if you're applying for a gamedev job you should probably have some internet access and a computer and the ability to google that person figure out who they are what they like what they've done what projects they've worked on maybe they worked on one of your favorite games a game that you played all the time that's something that you can somewhat bond on and kind of use that relationship in that communication so if you have even if it's outside the game industry some sort of common interest and you know that they have a common interest now don't try to go like hey I hear you like bike riding and I like bike riding when you walk in but if somehow these things can kind of work into the conversation you know they ask you your hobbies and you know that you have a similar hobbies share the similar hoppy you know kind of the main reason for this is that it it makes the people feel more comfortable right it's more like you're talking to a friend or another human instead of you're talking to a resume and trying to determine that resume and the other thing is that these people have to work with you right they have to work with you day to day so if you're easy to get along with easy to talk to you and you're not going to be a pain to communicate with it's gonna help a lot and you can show some of that just by bonding and sharing similar similar likes and hobbies because it's an easy thing to talk about now if you're like an hobbyist code that's awesome just make sure that the person that you're interviewing with is into that I've had times where I tried to talk to people about code too much and then found out oh yeah well I'm actually an artist like I didn't even know like an artist who knows about code and they're just kind of like trying to entertain me but you know make sure that it's the right audience for the type of thing that you're that you're talking about and also the more you can talk about these kinds of things the the stuff that you've done or the things that you have in common with code things that you have the less time there is for just dumb brainteaser riddle questions because those tend to come in when they need to fill time like hey we have an hour interview you kind of know what we want to ask and then we'll just ask all of these default brain teasers because we don't know what the hell else to do we're kind of out of ideas so just make sure that you can do that research the person learn about them figure out who they are what they like and be ready for it now obviously don't take advantage of that don't try to no lie and make up because you get hired and like a like mountain climbing and you've never climbed a mountain in your life it's gonna it's gonna cause problems so don't make up and don't like try to pretend that you're their buddy or something but you know bond on the things that you can and especially if you can bond on the code or the game related things like projects that people have worked on before if you have a this is a great one too if you have a developer that you're working with who worked on a project that you like and you have some actual questions about that project like how they did different things bring these up show show the interest and show the desire to understand and learn how some of these bigger more complicated things are done and put together because they're gonna know hey this guy this person really wants to learn these things and can help contribute in these ways later now might not always help but it almost it's like it almost always helps so definitely do that all right I've been going on for a long time so I want to dive into getting a job as a more experienced developer now and just talk about this a little bit more so if I personally need to get a job well generally what I do is just reply to some emails because as you get more experienced as a developer you will see that job offers just start coming and the the more experienced you are the more projects you've worked on and the more public you are about it the more you'll see opportunities just kind of present themselves you know most of the time I don't take these offers but what I do and this is very important relevant is share them with my friends so I will meet other developers and as I see where they're at with their level.if opportunities appear I'll just kind of refer them over say hey I know this guy he's at that level that you're looking for at about the price range you want and yeah if you're interested here's their info and try to get them in contact and it's not just me though there's a reason I'm saying this is a lot of your friends in the gamedev industry know about game jobs constantly you were constantly hearing about hey there are some opportunities here this company is hiring this place is looking for stuff and a lot of times these are jobs that aren't even posted on board so not publicly available yet because you know long before it gets through HR what you're looking for right the dev team almost always has like hey we have this opening we need to fill in these two spots maybe it's two people that left and the HR process could be days to months you never know so knowing people and just talking to them and letting them know your situation you can go a huge huge way to just getting getting jobs easily and again this kind of ties into that user group thing because a lot of those people at the user groups that are talking about these jobs they're sometimes they're not their own jobs their jobs they've heard from a friend or a co-worker or colleague now if you've been in the industry long enough and you're not a total dick you're gonna have enough friends in the game industry working at other companies to where if you're looking for an opportunity you can usually just reach out to your network and find a couple things that are available in a really good example of this is when there are game dev layoffs these happen pretty regularly and you probably see them on the forums all the time but when this happens what I've always seen is every game company I'm at they start reaching out to developers at that company or they start saying hey does anybody know anybody from that company who is looking for this role because we're filling these roles this company just had major layoffs hey let's reach out to him see if anybody knows it and it's in that case almost always just about personal contacts now again you don't have to be super friendly and best friends with everybody but you have to be at least cordial be kind nice and be helpful and just again don't be a jerk be nice to each other and you'll find that a lot of people will refer opportunities to you and just give you different job options and also if you're in that situation make sure that you do the same yeah if people are looking for jobs and know about them sure share the info let them know and if you have tips for how to get jobs drop them down below please because I've kind of listed off a lot of the things that I do and that I recommend but I'm sure there are ton of people who've applied for way more jobs than I have hired way more people than I have who might also have some really good is on where to find these jobs how to get through the interview process or a little bit better or how to prepare for it better and then just how to get hired and get into the industry and I guess a once you're in it's pretty awesome at least at every company I've been at of course heard horror stories I'm sure we all have but everywhere I've been in the game industry it's just been awesome it's always great you get to work with fun people make fun things and I mean you get paid to make video games what could be better right I guess getting paid to do nothing but close enough anyway I hope this is helpful if you're interested in this kind of stuff I plan on just blabbing and talking a bit more about things like this in the future one of the things I want to talk about real soon is the time when I got laid off right after getting my first game job which is pretty interesting and pretty scary but also led to lots of Awesomeness so goodbye thanks for watching again if you got comments questions drop them below and please don't forget to share this stuff because it makes a huge difference with YouTube and it makes me smile alright bye you
