1 Know Trends

To impress in an interview, you must first thoroughly research current game design trends. This means going beyond the most popular games and delving into emerging technologies like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI) that are shaping the future of gaming. Understand the nuances of player-centric design, procedural content generation, and the impact of social gaming. By demonstrating a deep understanding of these trends, you show that you're not just a follower of the industry—you're actively engaged with its progression.

Es ist aber auch wichtig, sich mit der Firma, bei der man sich bewirbt auseinander zu setzen. Nicht jede Firma ist an VR oder anderen technologischen Trends interessiert, sondern eher an reinen Gameplay Innovationen. Ich würde also die neuen, gro?en Trends als Referenz erw?hnen, aber je nach Zusammenhang hervorheben, dass es auch weniger risikoreiche M?glichkeiten gibt, Trends zu folgen.

2 Analyze Impact

Once you've identified key trends, consider their impact on the industry. Discuss how advancements in technology have led to more immersive gaming experiences or how indie developers are influencing mainstream gaming culture. Analyze how player behavior and expectations have shifted due to these trends, and reflect on how they affect game design decisions. This level of analysis shows that you're thinking critically about game design and its future, which is a valuable trait in a potential employee.

3 Cite Examples

During your interview, citing specific examples can solidify your position as an industry expert. Discuss recent games that have successfully incorporated trending elements or innovative design techniques. Explain why these games stand out and how they reflect broader industry shifts. This not only proves that you're well-versed in the market but also that you can apply your knowledge to real-world scenarios, a key skill for any game designer.

Learning how to do game teardowns is a valuable skill that can demonstrate your deeper understanding of games. There is no need to analyze the entire game, focus on specific areas to highlight trends or expertise, like: Gameplay Mechanics Story and Narrative Graphics and Art Style Audio Design Technical Performance Level Design User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) Replayability and Longevity Economy & IAP Live Operation & Events Etc. This approach applies to any game on any platform, regardless of rating or overall quality. You may be surprised at how many diamonds in the rough there are hiding in the least likely places. It's also good to teardown the hits, showing your ability to recognize why it's a great game.

Finally, engage with the interviewer's questions about industry trends with confidence and enthusiasm. When asked about your thoughts on a particular trend, don't just provide a surface-level response.

Es ist auch wichtig zu sagen, wenn man von etwas keine Ahnung hat. Es kann wichtiger am Ende sein, klar zu machen, dass man sich auch traut Schw?chen einzugestehen, als so zu tun, als w?re man allwissend. Ich jedenfalls mag Bewerber gar nicht, die st?ndig so tun, als wüssten sie alles.
