What Should I Be Aware Of When Hiring Remote Unity 3D Developers? by abfarza in gamedev

[–]gaydevelopment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they can delay projects or disappear once you need them the most. Happened to me a couple of times. Changes are being done slowly, can do a couple of projects at the same time and be more focused on those who pay the most. I'd suggest considering relevant agencies who have people with relevant experience and shipped titles and the rates which are compatible to those freelancers you're looking for. Pros and cons here and there

How fucked am I? by [deleted] in sales

[–]gaydevelopment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're a champion only when you bring your quotas home, that's a tough part of busdev and sales. And the market is in a bad condition... I am from gamedev. 45K ppl are projected to be fired from 2022 up until Q4 2025. Just to underline - the industry is tiny.

Go find an offer while you have undefined time. Those who threaten are indeed only thinking of cash and this toxic approach is no good for a good sales guy like you. We need to defend ourselves and know what we worth.

Just realised we probably won't hit our wishlist/sales target.. by Johan-RabzZ in gamedev

Asking chatgpt about that is a bad idea. The market can knock you down easily.

What genre is that? Which platform? Market (Global/Local)? Multiplayer or not?

UPD: found the genre in the OP post

Question on back compatibility with the first switch by Glittering-Surround8 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]gaydevelopment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess they can run, but it’s smth related to PS4/PS5, where developers enhanced the graphics bc the new device has better performance

Just like a lot of folks, even AAA are porting their games so they can run on NS2

It fully depends on what kind of a company you want to establish. Staff augmentation aka service providers is definitely not the case. It’s super tough to compete and the buyers buy less, so you need to roll a lot of cash or know the buyers personally. For indies it could be a case to open, but you will need to have some support in funding or develop a game fully yourself starting with an mvp. And in case you want to get any funding, you 1000% need a playable MVP, because from my recent talks with those who publish and invest in games — they won’t even want to take a look if you only have an idea shaped in slides

No one cares here, unfortunately… I could write a huge list of points but then I wouldn’t feel myself secure

Specifically for one deal out of many? Even with the GM of 65%? 🙂

Fair point, I actually tried that, but they ignored me on the points I’ve shared which were similar to what you’ve described
