Hello super special Patrons. I've got a new video coming out next week, but as I needed to upload it early to get feedback from industry experts, you might as well watch it super early!

This is quite a different episode - it's about how to actually get a job as a game designer. I spoke to loads of people (designers, educators, employers, recruiters) to build up a massive knowledge base. And then squeezed it into a 15 min video.

Hope you find it interesting, even if you're already in design or have absolutely no interest in becoming a game designer! I certainly enjoyed researching it.

Chat soon, pals
