When you play an especially cool game, you don't want to stop until you have completed everything. And I also want to create my own game! Sound familiar? For DUMP participants too / This year the GameDev section will be presented for the first time at the conference.
We decided to learn more about game development and talked with industry representatives from Targem Games - Evgeny Bushuev (Game Designer Crossout) and Alexei Chestnykh (Creative Director).
How did you get into the gaming industry?
Zhenya: I graduated from UPI, “Management in the energy sector and at industrial enterprises”. 15 years ago, higher education was a kind of protection from the army. Then I could go in my specialty, but this option seemed dreary. And once I saw news on ag.ru that there is a Targem studio in Yekaterinburg. I wanted to get a job here as a manager, but after the interview I was hired as a game designer. It was a great offer! I received my manager's diploma later, a year later. But at the time of the interview, I was worried that the cherished crust was not there.
