Games body Tiga has launched a Guide to Career Paths in Games Development. The guide informs pupils and students what qualifications and skills they need to work in the industry to become a game designer, artist, animator, programmer, sound designer/audio programmer, tester and producer.
"A career in games development offers great opportunities," said Richard Wilson, CEO of Tiga. "The UK games development sector is a world class industry. A career in the industry is rewarding: average salaries exceed £30,300 per annum, which is above the national average of £25,000. Developing games is intrinsically innovative, creative and satisfying.
"Despite the current economic downturn, developing games still offers a stimulating, rewarding and challenging career path in an industry that is set to become the Hollywood of the 21st century. Our Guide shows how you to join this successful and pioneering sector."
