The market is rough in tech right now. Everyone seems to be hiring exclusively senior-level talent, and it's easy for those looking to enter the market to feel depressed. BUT! This is the PERFECT time for juniors to take things into their own hands and become seniors at a super-charged pace. My advice would be to join GameJams. Lots of them. There are gamejams constantly running, just check out itch's jams page. These are tightly time-boxed experiences where you can focus on polishing a super simple set of assets. Get tons of reps in super fast while building contacts with many different teams. You don't really understand how powerful gamejams are for growth.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲!! ... is it? You've been laid off from your dream job, now what? It breaks my heart, to see so many people going through this, and I wish I could do more to counter balance the situation. I can't hire everyone, but I can at least share my thoughts on the matter, so we can all understand and figure out what's next. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁? The latest games industry reports clearly shows a turning point in both consumer spend and downloads. When markets mature, companies turn from mad growth to cost efficient machines, meaning, they have to reduce cost, slow down on hiring staff, and laying off usually around 10-15% of the workforce. It happened before, and it will happen again. In the dot com bubble, crypto, and it will happen again with AI. Every time an industry is growing, the race is on, and it's a winner takes all. Those who do well, do really well and those who don't, close shop or have to lay off staff. 𝗢𝗸, 𝘀𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲𝘀? Well, as it turns out, there's a 3rd type of company, that doesn't jump all in on each trend, and instead values people more than opportunity, as they understand that long term growth is more important than short term revenue. As Nintendo or Supercell, here at Bigfoot Gaming we care about forging great teams, and giving people the tools to grow, more than revenue and big numbers, because we understand, that the best teams make the best games, even if it takes years. As the market matures and the industry starts hiring again, I think is important to choose beyond pay or working on "big titles" and prioritize long term growth and people first companies instead.

I find myself pondering who and what makes up the game industry if the “industry” as a whole is laying off, after the dust settles who is left and how long will they be there? A multi-billion dollar industry is not going to disappear over night but its western contingent has certainly taken a hit. It is too early to tell if that is a good or bad thing, maybe it needed a reset from the executives, acquisition cycles, how they operate and generate revenue. Games will always be here for the people and if you ever thought about starting a game studio or building games, this is a perfect time to do it. You probably have more game devs and operational staff on the market now than any time in recent history. The cream of the crop is out there exploring new jobs or continuing to build their passion projects.Hire them! Consult with them! Fund them! Although it is an unintended side effect, I see it as a big wave, 🌊 amazingly creative people are going to flow into other industries. Perhaps even build a new era for the game industry. I hope to see an exponential rise of game creators (myself included), designers, developers and producers go into education , health, social impact, agriculture and other areas where gaming can make a positive impact. To anyone who is making games or wants to get started in the industry. Please don’t let this wave of layoffs deter your dreams. More people making games leads to more variety and choice. Isn’t that what the democratization of game development about? #gamedevelopment #unity #twitch #discord #amazon #indiegamedev #realtime #rovio #vr #xr #ea #kotaku #playstation #epic #unreal #naughtydog #activision #roblox #ubisoft #gamelayoffs #techlayoffs #gamestudio #gamestudies
