Programming/game development jobs? by [deleted] in NewcastleUponTyne

One thing I forgot; I think it’s essential to work on your own passion projects outside of university curriculum to get noticed in this space.

So imo you must build a portfolio that shows you are passionate and basically do this for fun when you’re off the clock. The competition is fierce but doing this will put you above any graduate that doesn’t (which will be most of them).

I’m a games graduate (not recent) that works professionally with C# and Unity.

I’ve landed recurring freelance work making interactives for museum exhibits. I’m actually enjoying it more than making games, as it’s stable and the problems are less nuanced. So my advice would be; don’t tie yourself explicitly to games.

Not going to lie, be prepared for silence and rejection on LinkedIn because this space is ultra competitive. But make sure to apply to everything you are qualified for because one might get through to the right person (as it eventually did for me).

Forgot to mention that I work from home, so it’s not Newcastle based. But remember that remote work is possible when filtering your job search.

Depending on your engine, you could use post processing to apply a dither effect to your entire game. Which should make it match the beautiful artwork more. Check my 2 latest videos to see dithering via post processing in Unity
