Eligibility

• Degree in Game Development, Application Programming, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Graphics, or a related course. With specialized training in 2D and 3D modeling, animation, game design theory, game engines, and game production.


• If you have an unrelated degree but are proficient in relevant programming languages and familiar with the gaming industry, you could also be eligible for entry-level positions.


• Proven working experience in full lifecycle game development


• Hands-on experience primarily with Game design software (Unity, Unreal Engine, GameMaker Studio), Code editors (Sublime Text, Atom, Visual Studio), Automated testing tools (Selenium, Junit)

• Role model who promotes ADMI values


• Strong candidates usually also possess these skills:


• 2D and 3D design – while game designers sometimes help create designs for them, game developers still often work with 2D and 3D design tools to create game assets and implement existing assets into the game


• Programming – depending on the game’s intended platform, game developers write code in Java, C+, C++, Python, Swift, JavaScript, or other programming languages


• Analytical thinking – game developers analyze the requirements their employers give them to determine how to implement designs and write code for a functional game


• Problem-solving skills – they need to think critically to solve problems when debugging problematic game code, optimizing game performance, and turning their design ideas into code


• Organization skills – collaborating with game designers and other developers to complete projects successfully and on time requires an organized person
