Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. I finally got around to playing Hades, the megahit roguelike from Supergiant Games. It did well enough over long enough to get a sequel, but I'm still writing about the old original one. It takes me a long time to build up the energy to pour in the number of hours a game like this requires. It's a 2020-vintage roguelike, which means: A bunch of rooms with fights.

What matters the most to hiring managers is the kind of experience a candidate has. Hiring managers have a specific set of tasks they're looking to hire someone to do for them. At an indie studio, they are probably looking for a broad set of experience, someone able to field many different types of tasks. At the typical AAA studio, they're probably hiring for expertise in a specific field - somebody who's an expert at AI, or procedural content generation, or in-game economies.

This is a very good question. Unfortunately, there isn't really a good answer for this because those of us on the ground aren't privy to the meetings or decision-making process where such things are decided. I have no super accurate formula for you, because we're almost always operating on incomplete data. The best I can offer is a general approach that I've internalized over time that has served me well.
