Vision is the name of the game

Game development used to be a niche sector that catered to a small slice of dedicated gamers. Now, it’s a $300 billion industry, worth more than the film and music sectors combined.

Gone are the days of specialized, on-premise systems that siloed players; today, gaming happens across devices, leveraging cloud-based interconnectivity and emerging tech for daring, immersive products.

It’s an industry fueled by creativity, and creators are thinking bigger by the day. Game dev isn’t without its challenges.

The rising popularity of gaming — hyper-casual mobile games, products meant to educate and inform, and esports — has tested the limits of the industry’s studios and talent. Hiring game developers that believe in your vision is nearly as important as the vision itself.

What’s inside

Every project in game development must answer the same question: How do you translate boundless creative vision into a product given the limitations of tech stacks and digital solutions? Welcome to the Vention game dev tutorial.
