What's next in game industry careers?
Posted on July 20, 2010 by Jeannie Novak and Michael E. Moore
 After completing work on their book, Game Industry Career Guide (part of the Game Development Essentials series, published by Cengage Delmar Learning), Jeannie Novak and Michael E. Moore both took some time to expand on the book’s final chapter, “Future: Employment & Growth in the Game Industry.” What follows is their short list of the top most exciting changes we see taking place in the industry in the near future . . .
The V-Team
Let’s start with the economy. Yes – we’ve seen a rash of layoffs and firings during the last few years. Even game industry veterans found themselves out of work. But simultaneous to the consolidation of larger game companies, a slew of small consultancies and game development studios have cropped up – some run by those very veterans, and some by relative newcomers with the entrepreneurial spirit. Some of these studios are saving a great deal on overhead by hiring employees from around the country (and even the world) to participate on what is being known as “virtual teams.”

JP van Seventer's First Meal as a Zombie
Posted on July 20, 2010 by Mary-Margaret Walker and JP van Seventer
 I had the privilege of meeting JP through my husband Andrew, while we were living in the UK. It was great to get to know the European market up close and personal. JP is a keeper in my network. He is just absolutely wonderful, incredibly smart, funny, thoughtful and creative. He believes in the past, present and future of games and he sees all three and the overlapping lessons to be learned. I’m honored to call such a powerful, humble man my friend.
MM: If you didn't go into games, what would you be doing?
JP: Industrial product design or video production.
MM: Who has influenced your work?
JP: Shigeru Miyamoto, the guys from Valve, through Ken Birdwells article on Cabal and through their games, of course. The makers of Advance War, and Eboy.
MM: Do you consider yourself a geek?
