Visual Concepts

The Visual Concepts university tour continues! It's always such a pleasure to talk to the students at Carnegie Mellon University, and Janice Lal brought the full spirit and energy of our company (with tech facts and comic relief from Richard Sternin). Other stops on the tour have had some great presentations by Derek Willner, and include Gnomon, Full Sail University, Otis College of Art and Design, UC Irvine, University of Southern California, Woodbury University, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. So many amazing students... the future of our industry is bright, indeed. #gamedev #2K #videogames

Almost five years ago, Bryan Fritz joined Visual Concepts as an Associate Producer on WWE 2K.?Ever since, he has made invaluable contributions to the game, tackling his share of challenges while ultimately propelling WWE 2K to ever increasing acclaim. Outside of the office, Bryan is a huge board game enthusiast; and he's taken that passion to a whole new level, even proposing to his wife via a board game! As a Producer at Visual Concepts, Bryan keeps the road clear for his team, and ensures clarity of communication both within his own group and across all the various teams that work on the game. For Bryan, expressing opinions and open communication makes for better games: "There's a great sense of positive collaboration throughout the team, and while there may be differences in opinion, in the end everyone works towards making the end product the best it can be, and treat others with respect throughout the journey." And for Bryan, challenges are opportunities: "There are always fun new puzzles that are really satisfying to resolve, whether it's finding a cause of a bug or working with other teams to develop a path forward on new features." For folks considering joining Visual Concepts, Bryan advises: "Passion goes a long way, it helps to do the research into the company and really put that passion on display. Also, flexibility and adaptability are incredibly important general skills to have in this working environment."

Materials are a critical part of how a story feels and how it gets told. This role is an opportunity to help NBA 2K reach new levels of visual excellence. #hiring #videogames Apply here: https://lnkd.in/gkvnbJTc
