Looking for something to do over the spring break? This jam looks like a fun opportunity to get creative!

[Hairic @Hairic_Lilred]

Games are hard to make, so I organized the Game Mockup Jam on itch, where you just make a mockup or screenshot of a game that might never exists.

It will start next weekend and you will have two weekends to work on it.

I had the pleasure of meeting many up & coming talented artists during portfolio reviews at GDC. While there’s a TON of talent, there’s so much competition with tough times & hiring freezes. Collecting some feedback and sharing here in hopes it helps just one person. Thread 🧵

The rather cool moment when one of the Level 5 collaborative teams presents you a 3D model of their game character.

1. Network, network then network again. Go to as many reviews events and post your work you might get noticed and headhunted (that's how I got my role)
