Advice:
Be kind to others and be kind to yourself in that you have to be driven to go places and do interesting things in games nobody's going to hand you an opportunity. You have to get out there and hustle for it.
Highlights:
Will tells the story of how he first got introduced to video games via a very early console, that his father used to test tv's as a tv engineer.
Later Will got a job at Sega in the QA department, and from there he worked his way into producing games.
And his expertise and view on games has given him the chance to write for Edge Magazine and PocketGamer.biz.
Among many topics we talk going to school to get a job in video games, why Agile development is such a good fit for games development, and crunch plus how to avoid it.
