🎮 Unity Developers, where are all our jobs hiding? 🕵️♂️ Ever feel like you're on a wild goose chase when searching for Unity Game Engine jobs? You're not alone! I keep wondering: 1. Why does searching for "Unity developer" yield everything BUT Unity jobs? 2. Are Unity devs so in-demand that jobs vanish instantly? 🏃♂️💨 3. Or are we all competing for the same 3 positions out there? 😅 Seriously though, what's going on? • Are companies using different keywords? • Is there a secret Unity job board we don't know about? • Or is the demand for Unity developers not as high as we thought? I'm genuinely curious: How do YOU find Unity development jobs? Any tips or tricks to share with the community? Let's solve this mystery together! Share your experiences and strategies in the comments. 💬 #UnityEngine #GameDev #JobSearch #TechCareers #LinkedInPuzzles

"What's your biggest challenge in game development?" I asked this in a call yesterday: "Finding the right talent quickly," was the response. 🔹 Here's what you should remember when hiring: 1. Specialized Skills Matter: ↳ Look for expertise in Unity, Unreal Engine, etc. ↳ Higher quality, faster turnaround. 2. Cultural Fit is Key: ↳ Passion for gaming and innovation. ↳ Stronger team dynamics, better results. 3. Flexibility is Crucial: ↳ Remote and flexible contract options. ↳ Attract top talent globally.

🎮 Why Hiring a Professional Game Development Studio is Essential for Your Project’s Success 🎯 A number of people can participate in the game development process, including designers, programmers, content creators, sound engineers, and animators. Game development teams can consist of anything from one person to hundreds of people, and the process can take months or even years depending on the complexity of the game. A game developer creates a concept of parallel reality and turns that concept into an interactive game. Depending on the complexity and size of the game, multiple people can participate. 💡 https://lnkd.in/enngebdR #GameDevelopment #IndieGameDev #GamingIndustry #GameDesign #GameDevStudio

Day 11 of posting every day until I get a job in tech I apologize, my birthday took me away from these posts for a bit. Today, I want to talk about doing what you love. I genuinely love making games with Unity and Unreal Engine. I haven't focused much on game dev due to being told it's a very hard niche to get into and that job security is low. However, my argument is that software engineering in general is tough to break into right now, and job security is low across the board. So, game development can't be much worse, right? 😜 I'm seriously thinking about going this route—pursuing more game dev jobs and working on additional game development projects to showcase my technical ability and build a strong portfolio. Hopefully, I can find a job at a small game dev studio and work my way up from there. If anyone knows of a company that's looking for a Software Engineer in game development, let me know! #GameDev #Unity #UnrealEngine #IndieDev #SoftwareEngineer #GameDevelopment #PortfolioBuilding #LookingForJob #TechJobs #CareerInGames #SE

Sod's law means that when we have loads of vacancies looking for one specific skillset, there'll be nobody available on the market. Then, when those vacancies are gone - suddenly there's loads of people with that skillset looking for work! If you are either of the following then the time to reach out to me is NOW, as these are examples where we have multiple urgent vacancies hiring this very second: - Graphics Programmers (Especially Unreal!) - Senior Unity Developers (Must be open to relocation) If you have these skillsets, but aren't looking right now, there might not be openings later when you ARE looking: it's Sod's law!

Another sad day for the gaming industry, after 15 years of developing fantastic games, THREAKS is closing its doors mid 2024. For those unfamiliar with THREAKS, this German game development studio is a true gem in the industry. They have an impressive legacy, marked by 18 commercial game releases and sales exceeding 1 million copies. Not only this they had worked on renowned IPs such as Warhammer 40K, Oddworld, Gang Beasts, DDLC+ and had corporations like Intel, Google, NVIDIA, Alienware, and Unity among their clients.

(Edit: NVM I think we found someone?) GAH! We urgently need a 💻👩💻Unity Engineer for our game jam team! One of our devs was suddenly hospitalized and sadly had to drop out. 🙅♀️ 🚫 💰 UNPAID. We're all volunteers doing this for fun and because it's a good cause. 🌎 💚 Deets for the jam: https://lnkd.in/eNd5vcad We have almost all of our game systems built and are looking for help banging out the implementation of our game logic, so people who are relatively new to Unity or even game dev generally would be a good fit. Our current lead Unity engineer is available to pair / train someone as they get started and ramp up on our setup. Below are some screenshots representing various things we've gotten done. We're pretty far along as far as having well-defined process / production pipeline, overall game / puzzle design, core gameplay, story and art direction, character design and art, assets, and I think we have a decent shot of at least becoming finalists?? 😱 The current team consists of 7 people: Developer / Producer Narrative Writer / Designer Technical Audio Designer Audio / Composer 2D Artist 2D Animator Animator / UI/UX Tools we're using: Unity for game engine (2D) Procreate + Adobe Suite for art Notion for project management Discord for meetings / communication Miro for flowcharting #gamejam #unpaid #volunteer #hackathon #socialgood #climatejustice #climatechange #unity #workwithme #techforgood #gamedev #indiedev #unityhelp #unitydeveloper #unitywork

Don't apply to jobs, doing the basics doesn't work! But I just made 2 offers yesterday to people who applied, I must be doing it wrong. Stop listening to all the experts. Apply, connect, engage, whichever you feel like (the more you do the more likely you get a reply). Also It got me curious, what do you have to do to have your resume be flagged like the picture below, I can't interact with it at all. I asked a few people who work in the space and they haven't seen it before either, maybe this is something new on LinkedIn ; or perhaps the person has just been reported / flagged too many times as Matt Barney said which could be a potential reason. On that note, I'm still hiring 2D Artists (Stylized), Technical Artists (Unity, C#, Prototyping), Platform Engineers (.Net 8, C#, some Unity), and a Release Manager (Mobile, PC, Mac) Happy Tuesday Folks! #tempo #herobuilder #thebazaar #hiring #2dartist #technicalartist
