Games & engineering
Starting my career in games
Rough outline
Set the scene
- Add the actual first role, responsibilities, and path into the industry
- Choose one early assignment rather than summarizing an entire career
Show the first hard lesson
- Describe a concrete bug, performance constraint, or workflow problem
- Explain what made it different from classroom or personal projects
Trace the lasting habits
- Connect interactive feedback to short engineering iteration loops
- Explore how state and player behavior changed the way Anthony tested systems
Offer a useful perspective
- Separate advice for entering games from lessons that apply across software
- End with what Anthony would repeat and what he would approach differently
