Your participation will be confirmed.

The participants of the tour will get the chance to experience different fields of work in game development, gaining insight to the daily routine as well as the professional environment. The fields of work are explained by studio members in short presentations and informal conversations on the basis of concrete projects and the (team)work is outlined.
Which educations did the developers complete? How is a game produced? Does it just take a couple of desks or does it require a tightly organised office structure? Just how bad are the dreaded crunch times, when employees have to work long hours due to an approaching release date? Does this happen at all in local studios? What do contracts look like? These and other questions are answered in short company presentations and subsequent individual discussions. The tour is also initiator of valuable first contacts for internships and potential employers.
