Featured Gamasutra Article: Advice for Game Dev Grads of 2017
ngon master
Greetings! My most recent Gamasutra article was just published and featured, and I wanted to share it with you folks. Whether you're a recent grad or otherwise, hopefully this will give you some explicit guidance on where to go from here.
I am a member of the class of 2017 personally, and I was blessed to find fulltime work for immediately after graduation. I'll never claim to have all of the answers (or even close to all of them) but I've talked to a lot of nervous folks in the last few months, and I wanted to address some common concerns. It's very easy to fall out of productive habits when leaving school, but the first 6 months after graduating are absolutely essential to building up some healthy routines so that you can set yourself apart from the pack.

Some good tips in there!
We should do a GDC panel on this if you're interested in starting one together.
