Freelancing with Confidence as a Game Dev (CAREERTALK)

The video game industry isn’t in the same shape it was 10 years ago: the pandemic and subsequent layoffs transformed the talent pipeline. Talented devs are still needed to make games — that hasn’t changed — but major companies aren’t hiring full time workers like they used to. What does this mean for you?

This means you can carve out your own path as a freelancer! Alina and Aiden have been carving their own paths as game devs by leveraging their skills to tackle projects. Learn from them what you need to do to set up as a freelancer, what business considerations you should have, how to balance priorities of your full time job and your creative work, and more! Come ready with questions!
