Game production process at ComAngle. See how it's done.

To begin with, our team needs to collect a great deal of concepts and ideas on each and every game's aspect. As a result, we end up with plans and sketches depicting the main features of a designed game.

Then the client is consulted on all the details including the expectations, design and budget.

After gathering all the necessary data, ComAngle can proceed with creating a first draft of the design document.

All the elements which are crucial in the process of game development are defined in that document and afterwards a document on technical design can be created.

In that phase all the actions have to be monitored carefully as the document has a huge impact on the whole project. ComAngle places a great emphasis on thorough and extensive planning.

After the whole project has gained approval, ComAngle produces prototypes which are tested by the client. At each stage we are open to any new ideas and changes as meeting the target users' needs is one of our most important stipulations.

If at any point the design document needs modifications our team makes the necessary corrections.

At the stage when the developed game can be played the first usability tests are conducted. Their main goal is to gather the players' opinions which are significant in the creation process.

Afterwards, our specialists evolve playable features according to the accepted plan.

As ComAngle's goal is to deliver high quality player experience, we make every effort to carry out credible alpha tests. Engaging large amounts of players, we gain valuable data which can be used to revise the design document.

After final alterations and testing, ComAngle starts producing art, animation and audio.

Another thing is performing dependable load tests to make sure that the environment is adapted to numerous players who will participate.

Subsequently, ComAngle launches the game but even after having the final product we frequently have to develop new features. Players' needs change, new concepts appear and adjusting to the changing environment is an important condition to achieve success. That is why ComAngle applies post-launch production of new features conducted together with testing and iteration.

The whole, fully planned process allows us to create successful games which are highly valued by both our clients and players.

How to get a job in the game industry?

Computer games are one of the fastest growing industries in the sector of electronic entertainment. For many people working in the company which produces games is synonymous with a job that is light and pleasant. It is one of the most desirable professions on today's job market. It ensures development, interesting work with a group of creative people and most importantly - it gives a great satisfaction. Not surprisingly, crowds of young players see their bright future in the production and creation of games. Particular interest is noticeable among students and graduates of Computer Science who have the technical basis. They treat this job as an alternative to a typical position of a corporate programmer. Interest in this sector increases every year, generating a huge competition in the labor market. So what should you do to get your dream job?

At the beginning you should ask yourself a fundamental question: Is it really what I would like to do in life?
Do not fool yourself - this is a specific job and only the real enthusiasts have the chance to distinguish themselves. So if this type of entertainment is only your way of relaxing, and not a real hobby, you might want to think submitting an application over. The gaming industry is composed of a specific group of workers - people who not only have pleasure in playing, but also want to share this pleasure through the creation of new games. And this is one of the most important criteria.

Get involved!
To stand out in the labor market, and thus to gain employment, you have to make a little effort. First of all - learn and find out all the technical innovations and develop your knowledge of the industry. Secondly - act - try to get yourself noticed. Use forums connected to games industry, find information, write reviews and be present on the gaming portals. Employers really appreciate such people. Thirdly - do something yourself - no one requires you to use the specialized programs perfectly, but there is nothing that will pay off in the interview more than presenting your research projects, even those non-professional. Your commitment and dedication is valued.

Define your goals
Try to determine what exactly you would like to deal with: design, programming, testing or maybe marketing? The games industry gives a lot of opportunities - try to find out in which section you would do best. In that way you will be able to develop your knowledge and competence.

Grow
In this industry you simply cannot be stuck in one place, so make every effort to acquire or deepen your technical knowledge. You do not have to study Information Science to work in that sector, but certainly you will need to develop your technical skills. Try to search for trainings in C ++ and Flash. If you already have completed studies and want to learn more, postgraduate course will be perfect for you. You can for instance attend the European Games Academy in Cracow. If you already have skills in the use of specialized software and you want to gain more knowledge on the practices of professionals, ComAngles'sAcademy is an ideal solution for you.
Depending on the area which you want to specialize in, develop your individual skills. If your dream is to create scenarios of games, you should focus on writing skills and developing your imagination - appropriate literature will be helpful in tis case.

Find an internship
Nothing will give you as much as gaining the practical knowledge. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to sacrifice to achieve something. If your conditions allow you to complete an unpaid internship, you should absolutely try it! This may be the first step to getting a job. Try to show your commitment and real passion - then you will be noticed.

Be persistent
You can find plenty of people who through hard work and education have achieved a lot in the games industry. Despite initial problems do not give up and consistently fulfill your goals. Prepare yourself for the fact that success does not come quickly. If games are your true love, you feel that you have potential and you spend every free moment learning, sooner or later you will reach your goal.
