Data used


Some interesting observations I found about the current state of the games industry:

  • Senior developers are highly sought after.
  • Gameplay programmers are in demand perhaps due to the fact that many companies have switched to engines and tools.
  • Console platforms seem to be hiring more than mobile ones. This could be due to the fact that mobile developers are mostly startups.
Disclaimer: this data is just based on Gamasutra alone and only for today, so this information could be outdated easily or biased towards only the Gamasutra community.
