How to create your game: education in geymdeve
The business of creating video games is gaining momentum all over the world. According to analysts at Digi-Capital, the total volume of the games market in 2016 will be $ 90 billion, and by 2020 these figures will grow to $ 115 billion! The revenues of individual companies have already reached several billion dollars, and the most profitable game in the world of League of Legends in 2015 alone earned $ 1.6 billion.
In such conditions, new companies develop game development and expands the staff of existing ones. But at the same time there are not so many highly qualified specialists in the game-dev market. In the conditions of a shortage of personnel in the gaming industry market, and also due to the lack of educational institutions of this profile, in 2014, the program of professional retraining “Management of online gaming projects” (IIAI) was launched at the base of the Higher School of Business Informatics (VSHBI). supported by our company All Correct Group. Already 40 people have become students of this program, many of whom have managed to get jobs in large Russian game companies (for example, Mail.Ru Group, RJ Games and others) or even create their own indie projects.
