Thanks for watching everyone! We also would like some feedback – we got some help with the narration audio on this latest video and wanted to know what you think! The three of us that write the scripts aren't particularly good at voiceover, so we wanted to try a new voice for the next few videos. Definitely appreciate hearing your thoughts on this current narration is better or not.

AKA the what ?

Rendering Engineer is easy, it's mostly math and science which doesn't change as fast compared to user acquisition expert which involves understanding of people along similar technical knowledge. and People can be so complicating!

FriendlySealStudio

nobody wants these jobs cuz they are boring lol

BREMO83

Who needs rendering engineers when you have the Unity Particle System? lol jk

Brian Ericksen

2:50 before this guy starts naming actual Dev roles.

Igor Guerrero

You had to include a profession for the normies right? Growth hackers are actually pretty easy to find, step out of games and you'll see it's the new SEO. You also, only need them after the game is out.

And just like SEO growth hack is bullshit.

Stefan Holmqvist

Ah i. Remember the good old days she. All developers was more or less render programmers and all artists was tech artists as those role did both not exists and was part of the skill set of each programmer and artist at that time 🙂

Jelow

Hahaha I can confirm the technical artists shortage I am one myself and I cant tell you how much people working on the project are taking me as a life source they stop the project If i cant work XD

Panda Ant

I want to entertain people and make apps to help people that struggle, but how to get those workers?

Networking Engineering is something I didn't know existed but now I'm intrigued to learn more about it. Thanks for the awesome videos!

The first three special roles I can see value from, especially Rendering Engineer.
The final role is where I see a contradiction if not a paradox.

UAE is virtually a useless role, as it relies on one key fact: the mobile market is a greedy, nightmare hellscape full of gambleware. Her goal is to help lure users into gambling their money on these predatory 'games'. I do NOT respect the mobile industry AT ALL. 90% of the games on the iOS store are predatory at best; very few exceptions that are worth the time and money and its usually the ones with a price tag. Even then, some of the commercial ones are either forcing in ads or MTs (like Minecraft).

The only true exception I can purely voice for is Stardew Valley. Buy the game and its all yours, no nasty or annoying surprises to steal more of your money.
I wanted to do the same with Maze Qore Arena, and it would be commercial but Apple's requirements proved a barrier that requires I buy additional hardware and a subscription just to even upload my game, and it requires certain conditions maintained that makes it difficult to sell either a fair game or a truly free game on their store. I learned that Apple is partly responsible for influencing this toxic malpractice. After all, they care only for that money, so why would they care if a gamble simulator disguised as a sports game entices little kids to gamble away mommy or daddy's credit card?

the harder role is the game developer the need to do all the logic for the game with code meny game engine have tools to improve the visual quality if the artist know haw to use this i dont need render engneers same for the networking ther is tools in the order to make networking games if you know haw to use this the dont need to make networking systems for the start but the need to game creator lick my to know that

the real team is nursery in the order to make game is artists (concep artist, 3D artist, texture artist….), game dissenter, game developer, sound engineer, animtion and publishers and people i know haw to use the game engine

James Potterton

Real help with my dissertation, thanks!

Jay Kahn

Would you update this for any different roles in 2020? Are there any VR-specific roles that you would add to the list? Thanks, loved the video!

Tero

Karl Kent

Freakz Animations

Is the content support a role. It does the story. The one who gives ideas. The one who is an expert in video games and in society.

Jeremy Martin

Wouldn't it just be easier to lower your products visual expectations with simpler rendering, if the games good people will play it.
