Navigating the different personalities you’ll meet is as much of a challenge as the technical work that goes into software development, and these Full Sail University grads and industry professionals will share their day-to-day experiences, as well as the challenges of transitioning to different studios and different roles.

Someday i will sit on a stage like and they'll be like:
"Hey Tom you're pretty fuckin sweet around these parts man what's your secret how do you do it?"
Me: "Uhgn"
The crowd sweats in awe and dramatic tension as the words sound through the entire complex
Having the same job as one of "those guys at the back," I appreciate that he was nice enough to do that shout out at the end. I know it can be time crunching when given something needing to be shown last minute, so it is great to be appreciated every once in a while when things go right.
Awesome vid.
Also the programmer on the right reminds me of King Horik
Very nice interview, enjoyed every minute of it. Some day I will be a game Dev sitting up there on that panel, I promise.
Create, don't consume. Participate, don't spectate. It is easy to play a video game, but it is harder, but more rewarding to make one.
Coming from a socially awkward introvert the man in the black t shirts comment saddens me. So its basically impossible to get into the industry if your social skills aren't up to pare even if your work is good….
What is the pay of being a game developer like?
I'm about to be in 9th grade and when I get into 11 an 12 grade I will finally be able to do Game development
