Welcome to Get into Game Dev! I'm Ventures, a professional game developer with a passion for teaching/helping others!
My book, GIGD: Tech Interview Tactics, is a guide designed to help novice developers break into the industry and to help experienced developers brush up on their skills.
This guide is fool-proof! I would know, because it worked for me and I am often-times foolish.
In the years this guide has been available, dozens of developers have reached out to me over email and LinkedIn (opens in a new tab) to share how it helped. I'm confident that if you're willing to put in the time studying, this guide can help you as well.
“I just wanted to follow up and thank you for your advice and all the time you put into helping students break into the game industry. Thanks to your help and advice, I was able to land an internship as a gameplay engineer at Blizzard on the Diablo IV team.”
— Zakarya Zahhal
“I recently experienced a studio closure and had to start the hunt for a new job with no warning. 'Get into Game Dev' by Ventures proved invaluable in my job hunt. Even as a senior engineer with nearly a decade in the game industry, this guide helped refresh my knowledge, especially when it came to C++ and 3D math. Both those new to game development and more experienced folk can get a lot out of it!”
— Thomas Klovert
“Your guide was invaluable! All of the questions during my final interviews were straight from your guide! It was unbelievably helpful! I would absolutely recommend it to any other aspiring game devs.”
— Avik Shenoy
“I just wanted to say I super appreciate all the work you've put into the Get Into Game Dev book and your YouTube. I've been programming for a long time now, but self-taught, and there's a lot of things I can do but wouldn't use the right terminology when discussing with other coders. This seems like a great way for me to work on that :) Thanks again!”
— Ian Snyder
“11 out of 10. It taught me information not explicitly told in my programming classes and provided me with incredibly valuable insight.”
— Frazier Kyle
“I wanted to let you know that your course helped me with the id Software UI Programming interview. I made it through all of the rounds including the ‘onsite’.”
— Zach Cook
“Recently bought your book and it's been incredibly helpful so far. I'm still in the process of putting a portfolio/resume together, but once I (hopefully) get an interview, I know I'll be very prepared. :)”
