While most game devs do play games in some form or other, there are plenty of developers who are much more casual in the kind of games they play, and some who don’t play any at all. Large game dev teams are full of experts in specific fields. Knowing the game and its details are very valuable for community managers.

The cost of any content in game dev is directly proportional to how much new stuff needs to be created for that content. If you need a completely new custom character model, that takes time from a character artist and a texture artist. that might need to be created for certain specific cutscenes.

Luis enrolled in the Advanced Digital Illustration Course at CG Spectrum and, before long, landed a job as a freelance digital illustrator at the global indie game dev studio Monumental!

Environment Artist : Models, textures, and places the stuff in the game levels. They need lots of skins - diffuse, specular, normal, AO, etc.
