So Unity spent $1.625 billion in 2021 to acquire Wētā Digital - including its engineers, pipeline, tools and technology, while still allowing Wētā FX (a separate company under the ownership of  Peter Jackson) to continue to use the tools and technology now Unity is now laying off Wētā Digital staff and Wētā FX are going to rehire most of the staff back from Wētā Digital and still have access to all the tools, so did Unity in effect just pay Wētā FX $1.62 billion to hire their staff for two years? #unity #vfx #weta #layoffs

Happy holidays! Here's some presents for everyone! 🎮🎁🎄🎁🕹️ Listen to the person you have hired, especially when it comes to the skills they've been hired for. Ask your producer how production is going and ways to improve. 🎄 Don't ask a programmer how a game or mechanic should be designed, but instead, ask your designer. 🎁 Ask programmers/engineers if they need more details on a task and dont wait for them to come to you. 🥂 Ask the sfx artist how the feedback loop has been, any thoughts about the way their sounds are being used, and any ways to improve their experience to deliver more art! 🎮 Ask everyone if they understand how the thing they are working on will get used in the game and make sure everyone plays somewhat regularly so they know what they're contributing too. 👾 In the end, you empower your team to work in their roles more efficiently and feel better about it! Who doesn't want that? Everyone wins. 👑 Use more words! A few more seconds of effort can save months of time and improve production. 🕹️ oh and also consider more heavily the experience you're players want and the feedback they're giving if the goal of course is to have lots of players. And finally, how can you communicate this to your superiors/leads without getting pushed into the current trend of layoffs? 🫣🤐😬🧐 #gamedev #wholesome #team #teambuilding #cooperation #communication #teamwork #unrealengine #unity

Once again, Aïda Figuerola hosted one of her fantastic audio events, this time interviewing Justin Ghio, a Director of NA Talent Sourcing at Activision Blizzard! Here are some notes and points I scribbled down while listening to awesome stories and some invaluable insights into the gaming industry : 🔑 Curiosity is King: Justin emphasizes the importance of an insatiable curiosity and thirst for knowledge when seeking roles in talent acquisition. It's a quality that's highly valued and can lead to personal and professional growth. 🎮 Gamify Everything: Embrace the spirit of gaming in your life! Justin encourages gamifying learning, skill acquisition, and problem-solving. This mindset not only adds fun to life's challenges but also enhances your ability to tackle industry-specific problems. 🎯 Skills for 2023: In the AAA game development sphere, skills in C++ and 3D math are crucial for programmers and engineers. For artists, versatility in various art styles and familiarity with art tools are highly sought after. 🌟 Underrated Skills: Justin advises developing a general sense of project management, even as an individual contributor. Understanding project timelines and how they work can be invaluable when juggling multiple tasks. 🕹️ Favorite Game: Justin's all-time favorite game is "World of Warcraft" due to the nostalgia and unique social experience it offered during his early days in the industry. 🚀 Transferable Skills: Justin shared an inspiring story of someone transitioning from a dental company to the gaming industry. It underscores the value of recognizing skill adjacencies and making them relevant to your dream job. 🔄 Reentering the Industry: If you've been out of the gaming world for a while, Justin suggests staying informed about industry trends and advancements. It makes reentry smoother and more productive. 🧩 Inclusivity in Gaming: For those with conditions like ADHD or ASD, Justin emphasizes open communication during interviews and considering what can enhance your performance in social situations, all while respecting your comfort level. 💡 AI & ML in Product Management: Justin believes analytical skills and tech stack knowledge (Python, SQL, data visualization) are advantageous for AI and ML-focused product managers. Thanks once again for the fantastic event and all the useful wisdom Justin shared! Aïda is on fire with awesome audio events so go check out her schedule and tune in live for more! #GamingIndustry #CareerAdvice #GameDevelopment #AidasAudioEvents
