They have no space for more devs, plus their vidya sector is slowly dying/folding into the big 3 (Square Enix/Konami/Capcom).
>Tfw Stick RPG was made in your city
Guess that's why I also have Bioware to balance it out.
>>320168617
I'm guessing mobile/casual gaming is not as popular there. Also it is a smaller country, so less startups probably make it.

>>320170139
Arrowhead Studios are legit, they made Magicka
>Cloud Imperium
Should I work on Star Citizen and get those mad Kikestarter bux?
Don't need to use the website to know my two choices are either Turtle Rock Studios or the guys that made Armikrog. Though I think the latter is more of an animation studio.
>Pixel Dash Studios
Met the guys at Pax, seem pretty nice as well. Wouldn't be the worst choice in the world. Bonus, guy I work with currently is good friends with the devs.

The people behind Warframe. I used to live like a 5 minute walk from their office. I had an opportunity to do a co-op with them do, still do I guess. I didn't bother applying though because, as you can imagine, there was too much competition for the position. Maybe I'll man up for my next co-op term.

And then Konami decided that they hate vidya and wanted to focus solely on freemium-mobile and pachinko, effectively turning the big 3 into the big 2.
>>320168067
There's two legitimate indie devs in my city, the rest make kids or educational games and there's one company that makes educational simulators. The educational simulator company is pretty awesome though, apparently one was installed at the middle school I went to. I'm a little jelly.
>>320168067
Firefly Studios lives 30 minutes away from where I live, more or less. Apparently they're making some sort of strategy game. Not sure how good though.
I was not expecting any game dev studio to be here though.

Tell them to make a Western Visual Novelthat panders to western fujoshi. It's obviously going to be successful eventually, maybe it's already time. Slash fics are still just as big in the West as they always have been, but there's no games yet.

>There is a reason we don’t call ourselves a Game Studio
>by ZenFri October 15, 2015 Artwork, ZenFri News
>If you’ve been following our efforts here at ZenFri over the last few years you may have come to the conclusion that we’re strictly a game studio. We’ve even had people argue this sentiment to us. However, if “Game Studio” was core to your conception of ZenFri, I’d like to take this time to politely inform you that you’ve got the wrong idea.
>There is a reason our home pages declares “we endeavour to tell unique stories in interesting ways” and not “we endeavour to create unique and exciting games”. Our heart and soul has always been and remains with storytelling, in it’s many permutations, it’s just perhaps that we’ve taken a rather long detour into focusing solely on games.
>We can’t help but take the blame for this misconception though, as for the last two years many smaller projects were shelved or swallowed up entirely in our efforts to complete our first game and largest project to date. >Clandestine: Anomaly. The “Anomaly Effect” here at ZenFri was so intense that even projects which did see the light of day were not reported much by us, as we worried any such updates would distract attention.
>Well… starting today, we’re going to start correcting this unfortunate state of affairs.

Wow didn't even know so many games were made here in slavlands. Some even offer internships, imma send some emails. Also, experience from programming games as a hobby counts, gotta work on that game I'm making.

No. Beth's work environment is just bad all around.
The guys who make the Super Stickman Golf series on mobile, Noodlecake Studios, are easily the biggest developers in my city and aren't on the list for some reason. Instead it's just the makers of Apotheon and some guy whose studio is an unfinished basement.

thanks. it wanted some form for internship that i didnt attach. seems like i have to acquire it at my college through a process which seemed complex im sure it wont come back and bite me in the ass
>>320182489
Short answer: none of them
Long answer: you've got to be on good terms with the established people and do a whole lot of bootlicking if you don't want to get fucked. Hell, if you want some insight, read Masters of Doom, which exposes just how brutal and hellish it got at id Software, even during the absolute bro-tier years.
>>320182489
The more employees a company has, the worse they're treated (out of necessity). Find the best paying gig from the smallest developer possible.

Go for it. I'm applying to bohemia slavlords to work on their buggy, glitchy mess. I have no hope with my experience. But I can try...
>>320183479
You either work for a big-name company that will drain your soul and dump you at the first convenient moment, or you work for a small developer and make jack shit until the other 5 people decide to kick you out in favor of the CEO's best friend from sophomore year of college.
Basically, just prepare your anus and head for death schedule hours, hone some of your programming/software design skills and always be ready to jump ship.
But you should still read Masters of Doom, because there was still plenty of revelry and camaraderie, even with outside people. Even after Romero got ejected from the company, him and Carmack were still good friends, and lots of ex-id people will say positive things about the experience.
Stardock it is I guess.
>>320184115
Welp. I don't want to have a life like that. Is there something calmer and more stable I can go for with a CS degree? I'm having psychological issues just from the pressure in school, I can't handle even more after school.
I'll read the book tho, looks interesting and doom was the game of my childhood.

>>320184517
If you want calm and stable, accounting. Not exactly that easy (people who think it's all about arithmetic stuff are idiots), but there will always be accounting work to be done and most of it is relatively routine.
And if you can get a CPA, you can more or less just go to companies and write your own checks.

>>320185097
So it's either boredom or hectic hell. Fuck. Nobody told me this when I signed up for school. It was all "It's so easy to get a job as a programmer" and "Programmers are most sought after proffesion", "You will have a guaranteed job after school". I chose this instead of physics because of that.
A friend of mine studies economics to become accountant and the math is generally easy mode compared to mine. You need to know a ton of shit tho, like laws n shit. I was always bad at remembering stuff like that. That's why I went into stem because those things make much more sense and I can easily relate ideas and rmember them.

>>320185971
Bonus fun: programmers are getting shafted by H1B visas, so even that profession's days are numbered.
There's no completely failsafe field. Trades are often pretty good, since there's almost always going to be a need for tradesmen, but if you're invested in programming/CS, you just have to remember that you might come under fire at some point from management looking to save a few bucks.
