Every game developer starts somewhere: full of ideas and ambition. In this panel, veteran developers from across the spectrum of game programming, with experience from indie to AAA, look back on their journeys and their own early quests in the industry. They'll share the lessons they learned, the mistakes they'd avoid, and the advice they'd wish they'd known back when they were students. Whether you're a student, a recent grad, or just starting your journey in game development, this is your chance to gather insight on building skills, finding your path, and thriving in one of the most creative industries. Come hear what these developers would tell their student selves... And maybe your future self will thank you.
