My favorite industry of Unity used to be virtual film production. We've seen this industry collapse over the last 24 months. From Ready Player One, Jungle Book, Blade Runner, The Lion King -- This was all powered by Unity. It was epic! I believe Unreal Engine will forever secure the VFP industry moving forward. This is further solidified by DNEG purchasing exclusive rights to Ziva Dynamics. DNEG is a powerhouse of Unreal Engine tools. Win for GameDevHQ students as we shift our focus toward the Unreal Engine environment and becoming engine agnostic as a whole. DNEG received a massive spotlight for their work in The Matrix Resurrections where Unreal Engine was used in the Dojo scene. GameDevHQ will train the best Unity & Unreal Engine Developers on the planet. #gamedevelopers #unity #unrealengine #virtualfilmproduction

As we shift GameDevHQ into a culture driven company, I wanted to share what makes up our core values. I’ll be going out of order a bit, but here they are: - Ambition - Inspiration - Compassion - Integrity - Celebration The one I want to focus on for this post is Celebration. There are moments in our careers that stick with us. My reason for celebration being such a core value dates back to 2015 when I was working for a major game studio. You ever been so excited about an opportunity or something you worked on that you created a social post about it? Ever been called into HR afterwards to be told you’re not allowed to post something? It’s a real morale kick to the gut. Maybe you trained Apple, the worlds largest company and was told you had to remove that post. (True story) Celebration goes beyond the success of GameDevHQ students. Of course we celebrate their milestones and achievements! 🎉 and it includes celebrating our teams personal lives.(like new borns) This form of celebration, it allows my employees to celebrate their work unapologetically to the world. To know they are valued for their work and to encourage and celebrate in their excitement. Shooting down ones excitement is powerful enough to make them quit. I would know. ~~~ GameDevHQ is in the process of redefining education and with that, the company. You’re going to be part of that journey. #startupjourney #teamculture #leadership

GameDevHQ is going through its biggest change in history right now. We’re thinking June is when everything will fall in place. A new C++ core curriculum. An Unreal engine career pathway. But this isn’t even the grandest change. We’re working with Jonathan Hill 🎮 GDC and his extremely talented team on the biggest change we’ve seen in our 6 year history. An entirely new GameDevHQ - lead by incredibly talented and passionate people. We’re at a unique point in our history where we can not only redefine education but redefine the company we want to be. A company where ambition, inspiration, compassion, integrity, and celebration fuel us! Here’s to taking GameDevHQ to the moon 🥂 🌕 🚀 #startupjourney #education #teamculture
