As a team leader, I've jumped on the design for our training sessions, tapping into the effectiveness of board games. Recognising the importance of cultivating a dynamic and enjoyable learning experience, I've developed a board game aligned with our customer service objectives. This game, anchored in design principles, replicates genuine customer scenarios, fostering collaboration, improved communication, and swift decision-making within the team. I've integrated gamification and learning into our training tool. By injecting an element of fun into the learning process. Here is a picture of the prototype and our team engaging in testing sessions contributing to the refinement process as we work towards the final product.

Welcome back to Aviator Insights, where we ask our colleagues about their role and history! Today we have Craig McCarthy a UK-based Producer! What is your role and how it works? I'm a Producer! So my job is to work with our fantastic development teams to plan, execute, and deliver features for our project - on time, in full, and to the highest possible quality. Generally, I'm spending most of my time in spreadsheets, in JIRA, facilitating the team, as well as playing our game regularly. I'm in constant communication with different teams and people to ensure dependencies are taken care of and our work is on track. I absolutely love my job, particularly working with so many different departments and seeing it all come together. How did you get started in Gamedev? Oh man, my journey has been a bit of a wild one so far. I've been in love with games since I was super young. I ended up getting started in development as a teenager, making mods for PC games (like the Star Wars Jedi Knight series!), where I learned so much and got involved in different development communities. However, at university, I felt there was more opportunity in web development at the time and pursued a successful software development career for 7 years at a start-up in Merseyside. However, it just did not scratch that itch I had to make games. So I pivoted the management skills I'd developed in web/software, moved away from my hometown of Liverpool, and finally made the move into professional game development in 2019 - joining Team17 for 2 great years, before making the move to People Can Fly back in 2021. What’s your favorite game of all time and why? It might be cliché, but my favourite game of all time is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. A true childhood favourite and an inspiring classic that remains influential to this day. The audio, the visuals, the ground-breaking action gameplay, horse riding... time travel! It had everything I wanted (and more) to get lost in an incredible world. I attribute some of my critical thinking skills to this game - as a 7-8-year-old, it was SO satisfying to solve a tricky puzzle.... although don't get me started on that pesky water temple!

Embracing the latest training trend: immersive experiences What does this mean?

Shane is out game designer who started off more as a system designer focused on balancing games but in the last year we challenged him to learn technical design using unreal engine to convey his ideas better and now he is addicted to it . It’s great to see his joy and excitement everytime he discovers something new . Our job is extremely challenging as we want innovation , polish , market fit , timelines and everything in between to work out but with challenge comes gratification of seeing everyone grow and learn together . Not just building a team, building a future.

🌟 Reflecting on My Journey as a Project Manager 🌟 Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to lead the development of a galaxy shooting game. As the project manager, I took charge of every aspect, from design and art to conceptualization and execution. - Design: Crafted unique and engaging gameplay mechanics that captivated our audience. - Art: Oversaw the creation of stunning visual elements, ensuring the game's aesthetic matched our vision. - Concept: Developed innovative concepts that set our game apart in the competitive market. - Leadership: Guided a talented team, ensuring smooth execution and delivery of the project. Seeing the project come to life and the positive reception from players was truly rewarding. #ProjectManagement #GameDevelopment #Leadership #Design #Art #Conceptualization #GamingIndustry #UnityGame #MobileGaming #GameDevelopment #GameDemo #ScrewJam #GameLaunch #MobileGaming #GameDevelopment #UnityGame #IndieGame #GamingCommunity #GameDesign #GameProgramming #AppLaunch #NewRelease #GamingIndustry #GameDev #DeveloperCommunity #MobileApp #AndroidGame

What I've learnt in my journey through the fast-paced world of gaming, is that staying ahead of the curve is essential. Building a culture of continuous learning is not just about acquiring new skills; it's about fostering a mindset of growth and innovation. Here are some strategies I've come across to cultivate a continuous learning culture in your gaming organization: - Encourage curiosity: Celebrate a thirst for knowledge and encourage employees to explore new ideas and technologies. - Provide opportunities for growth: Offer professional development programs, workshops, and conferences to help employees upskill and advance their careers. - Foster a supportive environment: Create a workplace where employees feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn from their experiences. - Recognize and reward learning: Acknowledge employees' achievements and contributions to the organization's learning culture. By investing in continuous learning, you can empower your team to innovate, adapt to change, and create exceptional gaming experiences.

Building things that have never been built before is our core in the business and culture. 🚀 👉 Lauri Lehtonen our Lead Game Developer, knows all about this. 🌟 His journey at Valo Motion started in 2017 as employee number eight and the first Game Developer ever on our team. From the outset, Lauri was tasked with leading the development of ValoJump, an interactive trampoline game platform. 💬 "I was tasked to envision what this product would look like in an activity park and commercial context. ValoJump development project also became my thesis work." This project was groundbreaking, combining exercise with gaming in a way that had never been done before. 🏃♂️🎮 🦸 Fun fact: While developing the game, one of Lauri’s most significant inspirations was to empower people to feel like they have superpowers. By exaggerating the jump height in the game world, players could experience the thrill of soaring into the sky! This kind of curious, innovative, and ingenious DIY mindset is what all of our team members share. 🤩 💬 "I like that I get to explore things that have not existed before in the game industry.” We've done our best to create an environment that encourages our team to innovate without constraints, ensuring that we stay at the forefront of the industry. 💬 “Our culture is very open and trusting at Valo Motion.
