The Game Developer's Resource Guide

Whether you’re a developer at a AAA studio looking to break into the indie scene, an avid freelancer trying to make new connections, or just starting out in your education, everyone has a unique journey as a 3D artist. Everyone has their own goals, and with a seemingly endless bounty of resources available at your fingertips online, sometimes it just takes a little guidance to find what it is you’re really looking for. 


As an artist working in the industry for over 11 years, I know firsthand just what kind of people are being sought after. That’s why I’ve built this resource guide for everything Game Dev. AREA by Autodesk is committed to helping empower creators of all sizes. Got questions about where to find fellow creatives in your hometown? Trying to find more freelance work? Making a portfolio? Look no further. Pulled from a variety of great places, each category in this resource guide below will provide you with a selection of carefully curated options.  


This guide will also be updated periodically ensuring all information is relevant and up to date.

Game Organizations


There are countless local organizations supporting Game Devs around the world, however international organizations can really be a great place to start.


  • IGDA (International Game Developers Association): IGDA is a worldwide organization set up explicitly to help support game developers, and has local chapters all over. I worked with Renee Gittins (the previous head of the IGDA) on some sponsorship activities after meeting at Indiecade 2015.  
  • ESA (Entertainment Software Association): The ESA is a larger organization that is heavily involved in E3 and other game-related activities in LA and beyond. They are more focused on advocating for the games industry on a policy level. They also curate talks and “state of the industry” style content. 
  • The Rookies: A worldwide organization with a focus on raising the profiles of fresh graduates and students alike, The Rookies are a consistent source of competitions, learning opportunities, and general networking for students and folks looking to fill junior level positions. Please note that The Rookies are focused on both the game and film industries. I would have loved to be active in their community when I was in college and encourage students of all skill levels to participate in The Rookies’ activities.

Freelance and Business


When I was first starting out in the creative field, I struggled with the business side of things. I couldn’t fully grasp the need to operate as my own project manager, contract writer, business development expert, etc. – all while creating artwork. I learned through trial and error. For those seeking guidance, the following resources might help point you in the right direction: 


  • GameDeveloper.com: The website formerly known as Gamasutra has an up-to-date jobs board, as well as a host of industry-level articles. It’s a great place to stay updated on the state of the game industry and even participate in the conversation.
  • The Artstation Guide to Freelancing: Useful freelancing guides can be hard to come by. It seems like every other website and marketplace has its own token take. That being said, this guide from ArtStation is particularly relevant to freelance artists and is carefully organized into seven distinct chapters. 
  • "Artist Contracts: Everything You Need to Know”, UpCounsel: Do not misconstrue this article as legal advice, go to a lawyer for that! But if you are freelancing, it's vital to research your rights, and before you work always make sure there is a contract in place. Begin to learn the ropes here!

Indie Resources


While sharing much in common with larger-scale productions, indie game development has its own challenges and questions specific to it. Below are some of the best places to find answers to your questions: 


  • Game Dev Map: Get a better lay of the land in your local game development scene! This map lists many studios by city and country and has helped me stay up to date on who is working on what, and where.
  • Pixel Prospector: Currently in the midst of a redesign, Pixel Prospector's archived site can still be accessed and includes an exhaustive list of marketing walkthroughs. You can follow the site’s Twitter account here to stay up to date on the page’s redesign.  
  • Career Coaching with Jean Leggett: I was introduced to Jean Leggett's work through a sponsorship of the Pixelles and her wealth of experience would be a boon to any indie creator, or small studio. Her work with her company One More Story is impactful and has a focus on helping “non-coding storytellers create and publish narrative games.” 
  • Leveling The Playing Field by Rami Ismail: Rami is well-known in the indie game scene for his early work as one half of the studio Vlambeer, and more recently his game dev advocacy and coaching. In his monthly newsletter, he tackles a wide variety of challenges, and advice for indie development audiences. 

Education, Events & Networking


Whether you opt to pursue an education through a structured academy or want to learn through the internet, being up to date on events schedules and which academic organizations are active in the games space can help greatly. Below are some of the more acclaimed Game Art & Game Design Courses out there, as well as some larger games events.


Trade Schools & Education


  • Gnomon Workshop: The Gnomon Workshop is a byproduct of the Gnomon School in LA, and acts as an online extension of their curriculum with workshops available around the world. Gnomon is a visual effects school, so while it's not 100% game industry focused those industry lines are blurring, and good 3D artwork is... well, good 3D artwork.
  • Digipen: A private, for-profit university in Redmond, Washington. Diigipen has many other locations and is renowned for its games-focused classes, and top-notch graduates.
  • CGSpectrum: Whether you're straight out of high school, changing careers, or upgrading skills, CG Spectrum gives you direct access to industry experts who have worked at major studios, a job-focused curriculum, and career development support to help you build the skills and confidence to pursue a fulfilling career in film and games.


And for those that don't want to attend a full program, there are always a wide variety of options from independent educators, YouTube influencers, or even right here in AREA's "Learn" section!


Events


  • E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo): E3 is a trade event for the videogame industry organized and presented by the Entertainment Software Association in LA. Countless developers, publishers, and hardware and accessory manufacturers introduce/advertise upcoming games and game-related merchandise to retailers and members of the press.
  • GDC (Game Developer Conference): GDC is an annual conference for videogame developers. The event includes an expo, networking events, and awards show including the Game Developers Choice Awards and IGF (Independent Games Festival), and a variety of lectures, workshops, and roundtables by industry professionals on game-related topics covering programming, design, audio, production, business, management, and visual arts. I highly recommend networking in the Yerba Buena Gardens.
  • PAX (Penny Arcade Expo): When I first attended PAX in Seattle in 2012, I was floored by the number of people attending! Since then, I have showcased many games there, and the connection to game fans is undeniable, not to mention the networking and sheer fun of it all. If you don't like crowds, you might want to attend later in the day or on a weekend as the event lasts for 4 days! Make sure to bring good shoes and a water bottle if you're trying to make the most of it.
  • Wholesome Games (Wholesome Direct): A community of game creators banded together to help promote each other's games and with a focus on wholesome, non-violent games, "Wholesome Direct" was born! It's a free digital streaming event that brings new indie and AA game trailers straight to their audiences across Twitch, YouTube, and other social platforms.
  • Guerilla Collective: A digital games festival filled with trailers, announcements, gameplay videos, and more bringing together some of the hottest developers and publishers from around the world. Akin to Wholesome Direct, the Guerilla Collective spawned from the realization that a studio, publisher, or indie dev does not necessarily need to spend the overhead to attend a conference to market their game - they just need to be discovered on the internet!
  • IndieCade: An international, juried festival of independent games hosted in LA, IndieCade has a focus on top-notch, groundbreaking, indie games. I highly recommend going to IndieCade at least once. They also have a delightful peer-review process for submissions, and the wider indie games community helps jury the event.
  • Gamescom: A games tradeshow based in Cologne, Germany, Gamescom provides an awesome hub for game developers to connect, showcase their games, and learn together in the many panels, workshops, and events organized throughout the 4-day conference.
  • IMB (IndieMegabooth): The IMB is an event inside an event. With a separate submission process, IMB is at GDC, E3, PAX, and many other game-related events, and has a focus on giving indie games and developers equal opportunities to showcase their amazing games at the same events as the larger game developers with bigger budgets.

Game Jams and Game Competitions


One of the greatest ways to shore up your portfolio as a prospective game creator is to participate in Game Jams and competitions. I have participated in a plethora of game jams, and it was a great introduction to the process, proving to be one of my gateways to getting game positions and connecting with other creatives in the community.


  • GDWC (Game Development World Championship): An annual game development competition, GDWC is something I was introduced to while working at Autodesk. I have since thoroughly enjoyed helping to sponsor GDWC through Autodesk. Many schools, independent creators, and studios alike submit, and really help fill a need for recognition in the games industry.
  • GGJ (Global Game Jam): The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is one of my favorite events, and I have made a game for it for the past 11 years running. Not only is it a good milestone and reason to get something into the world, but it's also an amazing way to (re)connect with game creators, whether old friends or awesome new connections, GGJ is a great time.
  • Ludum Dare Game Jam: Ludum Dare is a long-running online game jam that occurs twice a year and has a 20-year history with an incredibly supportive community.
  • Indie Game Jams: This is a comprehensive calendar of countless game jams going on throughout the year, all around the globe.


All these resources have helped me contextualize the games industry and find my place within it over the years. I hope that this resource guide helps someone and if you have any questions or suggestions regarding the guide, please feel free to reach out to me via AREA Groups!
