Panel: Inspiring the Next Generation of Talents
summary
Conference panel notes show the industry at roughly $150 billion, attendees from about 67 countries, and studios ranging from ~87 to ~300 people, stressing that remote work is now global. Practical paths are game jams and portfolio sites and internships or apprenticeships rather than relying only on QA. Expect long dev cycles, post‑launch live ops, and entry salaries often near £20k. Use open-source engines and free tutorials and network at festivals or industry groups to solve visibility and hiring hurdles.
