Brother! Let's cry together!
Could you all do something together that made your applications more attractive?
I could write it with my tears?
That's what you can do by yourself. Since you are not alone, do all of you together have the opportunity to do something else?
Well, I need some programmers, animators, level designers, artists, and 3d modelers on my game? Does that count?
It could. Making a game for free is a trope. What would be your role? Do you think that others would join your game? I would rather expect that everybody would want to have some influence and create something new.
Well I would be one of the writers and a game designer. Contributing designs to the overall design. I know by myself I'm doing a lot of things wrong so bouncing ideas and coding off of others would help immensely. If I had the capital I'd love to pay people but until then I don't expect anyone to join and I don't want anyone to join until I can pay what they deserve.
How about other unemployed game developers? Why not make a game together?
Who? I don't know anyone or where to look
You could start with another post to lemmy and extend to the other sites that you visit.
That's...not a bad idea. Maybe I'll try that
Start applying now.
Cheers, Good luck mate
Depends on the industry and if you have any co-ops or internships under your belt.
It's tough starting out for most people, but it's way better than the kids that graduated in 2020 or 2021. I still worry about them sometimes...
