One of the biggest takeaways from ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ผ๐ ๐๐น๐๐ฒ this year for us by ๐๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ด๐น๐ผ๐ - that no one in the is alone.
For decades now, almost every studio, whether or had faced their own hardships. But itโs the love for the job that keeps us going.
But how do you โexcel in rough seasโ?
โฅ Treat every new job, project, and even hardship as a learning opportunity
โฅ Normalize making mistakes (but learning from them!)
โฅ Even if youโre not sure of yourself - do the thing anyway. Try. Youโll thank yourself later.
โฅ No growth happens in the comfort zone - you need to be at least a little bit uncomfortable. It means your skills are being challenged, which makes or breaks great game devs.
โฅ Itโs okay to doubt yourself. Just donโt let it affect your decisions.
โฅ If you can, find people you will have fun working with. The gaming industry is so interesting and filled to the brim with some of the best people youโll meet. They alone can help you overcome some of the most stressful periods.
โฅ Please, for the love of God, - **REST. Burnout is real, and dangerous.
