CMP Media's Game Developer Magazine Game Career Guide Highlights Lucrative Opportunities in Growing IndustryPRNewswire-FirstCall Game Developer's 2003 Game Career Guide is now available at most major newsstands and bookstores, and by download. The U.S. videogame industry experienced record-breaking growth in 2002, which continues in 2003. As a result, more and more people are actively seeking to break into the game industry. Game Developer magazine's annual Game Career Guide is an invaluable tool for students, recent graduates wishing to enter the field of game development, and professionals changing careers. Based on the tremendous reception of last year's inaugural Game Career Guide, this year's edition offers even deeper real-world advice and insider information on planning a game career, including: -- What courses to take for different game development jobs.
-- Students' experiences in university and vocational game development
programs.
-- What game industry hiring managers are really looking for.
-- A firsthand view of an average day at Ion Storm Austin, working on
Thief 3.
-- How games are built and sold.
-- A directory of almost 100 North American game development schools and
programs, updated for 2003.
"The overwhelming success of last year's Game Career Guide proved the need for an authoritative, independent resource for people looking to get into the game industry. Game development education is evolving right alongside the art form itself, helping to redefine it just as film schools did for the art of cinema in the last century," said Jennifer Olsen, editor-in-chief of Game Developer magazine. "Game Developer's 2003 Game Career Guide is designed to help students and career changers stay on top of this rapid evolution." Game Developer's 2003 Game Career Guide will be available for $5.95 on newsstands through November 10 and will continue to be available at www.gamasutra.com/education thereafter.
