Game Developers Open Up About Industry Salaries

Game developers have taken to Twitter to share more information about Game Industry Salaries, following the #GameDevPaidMe hashtag on Twitter.

Similarly, Skillsearch also published their own findings, showing average game industry salaries, allowing a good yard stick for many of the developer testimonies.

Artists
(Graphic and data by Skillsearch)
Artists are arguably the most visible part of the game development team, creating assets like every widely popular character, to tiny details like an incredibly satisfying health bar. The field itself has its own sub-specializations, such as Character Artists (making characters), UI Artists (Making UI elements) and VFX artists (Making effects and simulations).
According to Skillsearch’s study, graduate-level artists were making 23,319 pounds a year, or roughly 11 pounds an hour. This is about 4 pounds more than the UK’s minimum wage. Meanwhile, a Lead or managerial position would net you on average 51,624 pounds, or roughly 24.82 pounds an hour.

— Anisa Sanusi (on hiatus) (@studioanisa) May 7, 2021

Does the evidence stack up? UI Designer and The Brave Room guest Anisa Sanusi shared that when she was a 2D artist, she was getting paid 18,000 pounds a year, although she didn’t specifically mention when or where this happened. This is still above today’s standards for minimum wage, but not by much.
Programmers
Programmers have much better prospects on a graduate level, with Skillsearch reporting the average salaries for Programmers sitting at 28,000 pounds a year. This is almost double the UK’s minimum wage at 13.46 pounds per hour. However an important thing to note with average salaries is that a decent average salary only means that an equal number of unacceptably low and ridiculously high salaries exist, since the average doesn’t account for discrepancies between the two.

Jacob Mills, a Senior Designer at Roll7, opened up about his wages back when he was starting out in programming at Tt Games. According to Mills, his salary at the time was 22,500 pounds, lower than the average graduate artist.
Quality Assurance
One under-represented part of game development is QA, or Quality Assurance. These less-represented parts of the game development process play through games checking for bugs, giving feedback to developers to make sure their games don’t become synonymous with being broken at launch. Skillsearch didn’t have any data on average QA salaries, but the QA staff on Twitter certainly did.
US-based QA Engineer Travis Goodwin opened up about his time in QA, where he says at full time he was earning 12 USD an hour, or 8.49 pounds. Annually that translates to 17k pounds, putting it way below even the graduate-level artists’ average. As a Lead QA, he was earning 15 USD an hour, or 10.62 pounds. This translated to 22,000 pounds, which is once again under an entry-level position for what is supposed to be a senior role.
Travis was quick to clarify that his data may be a little outdated, seeing as the data was from circa 2016. Diana Flindt, a Junior Content Developer at Jagex opened up about her time in QA circa 2019, where the numbers weren’t all that much better.
According to Diana, a junior QA position only came in at 17k pounds a year, or roughly 8 pounds per hour. When she transitioned to a more senior role her pay was only bumped up to 19.5k, or roughly 9 pounds per hour.
Considering QA engineers jobs is to make sure a game is actually playable before it hits store shelves, the trend that even senior level QA, who by virtue of their work should have a very specific skillset, are getting paid less than entry-level artists is something to be up in arms about.
Why #GameDevPaidMe?
It’s been widely spread that salary transparency is a bad thing, or impolite at best. GameDevPaidMe is seeking to reverse that, by allowing for more open discussion about salaries in the Games industry. The idea is that if everyone knows that they’re not getting paid enough, they can work together to negotiate for better rates, or promote studios that are already paying them.
While we used the minimum wage in the UK as a yardstick for salaries, being above the minimum wage isn’t really good enough. It’s called the minimum wage for a reason, and is really just the legal limit on how low you can pay your employees. A salary should have room for personal growth, meaning at no point should something like having a kid suddenly put a strain on your finances.
Studio AC Director Adam Campbell also advised game developers that they should look to salary databases like Glassdoor, which would have a broader database of average salaries in the games industry.

On the topic of #GameDevPaidMe one of the regular pieces of advice I give people is to use salary databases to benchmark. The likes of Glassdoor, PayScale and more have 100s of thousands of entries. Benchmark within the tech sector and compare with your years of experience (1/3)

It’s off to the races! Uma Musume: Pretty Derby First Impressions

The day of horse girls has arrived at last with the launch of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby! The game is, as advertised, primarily a training simulator ft. horse racing. It’s been a long time coming, having been originally announced to launch in 2018. Well, it’s back to the non-Japanese to bumble through another game, let’s go!

PRESENTATION
I have to say the production value here is pretty high, besides the cute horse girls of a different flavour from Arknights. The models look great, on the track and on the stage. The gacha animation is even them dashing out of their starting gates with white, gold or rainbow doors. With how many parameters you’ll need to raise, expect to do quite a bit of menuing, even if the layout itself is pretty nice and clean. Ah, it’s like Granblue all over again (mostly joking).

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Not helping the fact is my lack of knowledge in the language so I have no idea if I can fully auto this game. It reminds me of Mahoyaku, with similar training systems and stats to raise. The girls have costumes you can set on your homescreen, and you can place them in other areas as well, so you can see them hanging out. Presumably more outfits should be unlockable through maybe the story and at the very least, the gacha, as natural 3-star girls will have their 3-star outfit off the bat.
You can skip this too, if you’d like.
As your girls race across the track, there’ll even be a, uh, running commentary, giving you that real hyped atmosphere. Don’t people usually come here to bet…? The main story is fully voiced, which surprisingly enough, is more of a rarity in the mobile game landscape.
Follow us on Twitter

The game will mostly be in portrait mode, with the stage performances defaulting to landscape. You can have those performances play on portrait as well, but it doesn’t look as nice.
This is how the stage looks in portrait mode. Don’t do it.
GAMEPLAY
I honestly half expected there to be a rhythm game thrown in with the post race live show, but no, it was just an MV. The gameplay is focused on you managing the limited turns to raise your horse girl’s numbers and tap through the events that come in between. Your main horse girl will be assisted up to six other horse girls, and five support cards with the sixth support card coming from a friend.
Main training screen.
Once you begin training, you can choose what stats to raise, which will use up energy. You’ll need to spend a turn to rest to replenish it, and what I assume is somewhat like a mood gauge can go up and down. Your support cards will help in giving additional boosts every now and again in certain training options, and those can also level up the more you run the course. As far as I can tell, both your support horse girls and the cards contribute to what events you’ll come across during training. Some of these will have options which will raise or lower parameters too.
You’ll want to raise your team’s overall score to go through the ranks of the derby. The training mode focuses only on one girl, but there’s also the team races. There’s an in-game hint system but if you don’t know how to read Japanese, they might as well do nothing for you. Prior to the solo races, you’ll also be able to distribute additional skill points to improve the skills.
Pre-race skill point distribution.
The highest rarity you can obtain from the gacha is a 3-star for a horse girl, and SSR for a support card. Support cards can be further uncapped four times, while horse girls currently go up to 5-stars, with increasingly higher shard requirements of course (200 to 4-star, 600 to 5-star). You’ll get some amount of shards through the gacha to raise their star ranking, like a 3-star unit giving 60 shards on obtaining them. Get grinding, people!
GACHA
A trainer’s deadliest enemy, the odds…
For both 3-star girls and SSRs, the rates are 3%. It takes 1,500 Jewels to do a 10-pull with sparking available at 200 pulls. I would have expected it was 300 much like Granblue or Princess Connect, but it seems the gods are kinder in the world of horse girls. 3% is pretty average in the world of gacha, so good luck to everyone who’s rerolling for their favourite.

Training simulator games have never been my cup of tea, but then again, there are plenty of popular games that have similar gameplay anyway, so it depends. If you enjoyed the anime and want to play something relatively low maintenance and see your girls moving around, then by all means, try it out.

Various members of its cast like Ejen Ali himself, along with Rudy, Alicia, Mika, Roza and Khai, will be making their appearance in this game co-developed by Media Prima Digital and Common Extract. Ejen Ali: Agents’ Arena differs from most MOBAs where instead of the typical 5 on 5, this game is a 3 on 3. Each trio will be battling it out in 3 lanes to take down the towers and of course, the enemy base. At present, only 6 characters were announced, each with their own abilities and positions.

The game is expected for an early May 2020 release, for both iOS and Android platforms.

Far Cry 6 OST Brings The Soul of Yara to Streaming Platforms

The Far Cry 6 Original Game Soundtrack (OST) is now available worldwide on all major music streaming and download platforms. Composed by the award-winning Pedro Bromfman (Narcos, Robocop), the soundtrack breathes life into the tropical paradise of Far Cry 6 with each of its 21 tracks.

Far Cry 6 (OST) | Pedro Bronfman:

Inspired by multiple music styles and Latin cultures, Yara is an island frozen in time in the heart of the Caribbean, where listeners will experience dynamic melodies that set the tone of the game and its distinct regions. The Western region is filled with acoustic melodies, while the Central region has a unique blend of urban music and hip-hop elements, and the Eastern region features heavy industrial sounds.

Far Cry 6: Sounds of a Revolution: The Music of Far Cry 6 (Audio Developer Diary)

“The album is based on a very modern score, drenched in lush soundscapes, driving percussion, processed organic instruments, and a ton of synthesizers. We tried to capture the soul of Yara, and its characters, by rooting the score on traditional Latin American and Caribbean music, while being completely free to experiment with contemporary sounds, elements, and techniques, in hopes of creating something very fresh and unique,” says Pedro Bromfman.
Featuring Libertad, the theme for Yara’s revolution, players will feel the pulse of Yara’s revolution building throughout the entire soundtrack starting from El Presidente to the final track, Antón.

Catchmon; The Next Pokemon Go!

Catchmon is a brand new AR mobile game developed by Korean company Mgame. Since the lost of 12 million players in August for 2016’s sensational game Pokemon Go, Mgame developers are taking the challenge and advantage of AR games. The game is similar to Pokemon Go with its catching, raising and battling of creatures.

The game is just like Pokemon Go where players can use their phone’s cameras to overlay the virtual creatures on top of their current environment. All catchable monsters can be upgraded for gym battles or PvP. There are even boss monsters that spawn in specific regions where players will need to team up with others to challenge the bosses to gain rewards.

Despite the similarities of Catchmon and Pokemon Go since they are LBS (Location-based Services) games, the creatures in Catchmon are all entirely different than the Pokemon universe. Catchmon has a “board game” which does not require a player to go out of the comfort of their homes to play the game. Players can just click on a screenshot to move their characters in the game.
Below is the gameplay of a boss fight in the region:

Phoenix One – a PlayStation-like console where you can play Android games

We have only been playing Android games on mobile or PC (via emulator) so far, but do you know you can actually run Android games on something similar to a PlayStation 4 console? On China’s Jing Dong website, we have discovered a console that claims to run Android games – the Phoenix One (凤凰1号) and it is now available for pre-order!

Under its appearance that looks like PS4, the Phoenix One comes with Android OS (obviously), powered by Snapdragon 660 processor and 4GB RAM (kinda less for a “console”?). According to the product page, the console could run most of the recent popular mobile games including PUBG Mobile, King of Glory (王者荣耀), Honkai Impact 3 and Identity V.

Other than supporting external displays such as TV or PC monitors, it also allows you to play Android games using controllers or keyboard + mouse! You don’t need to worry about the battery as well – it is directly connected to the power supply for operation.
The Phoenix One is available in 2 edition – the entry-level edition (1,299 RMB / about RM777) and standard edition (1,399 RMB / about RM837). You can view more information on the official store page if you are interested! Would you buy it?

Game Science is a Chinese indie studio founded in 2014. https://t.co/WoDyBQqKcz
— Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) March 29, 2021

According to the CEO of Game Science, Yocar (Feng Ji), the acquisition resulted in Tencent and Epic Games providing Unreal Engine technical support. Beyond that, the project is still firmly under the supervision of Game Science.
Interestingly enough, Yocar was a former employee of Tencent. He left Tencent in 2014 to found his own game development studio just to develop an AAA game like Black Myth: Wukong.
Black Myth: Wukong exploded into internet popularity last year, making waves in both China and in the West. Despite being an indie studio, Game Science’s phenomenal work in creating early gameplay footage for Black Myth: Wukong has catapulted the studio into worldwide acclaim.

Black Myth: Wukong is a new Souls-like action RPG currently being made using Unreal Engine 4. At the time of writing, there is no planned release date for the game.
You can learn more about the game on its official website. Note that it is in Chinese.

Redemption in Revendreth – World of Warcraft: Shadowlands

It’s time to take another peek into the Shadowlands. This time, we’re heading into Revendreth, one of the areas that Champions of Azeroth will be visiting in the next World of Warcraft expansion. This land of the afterlife is well suited for the prideful and arrogant souls who get sent here, with its clouded, crimson skies, and the dark stone ramparts of Castle Nathria. You will not be finding the timid to walk these cobbled streets.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Yet, despite its imposing appearance, Revendreth is not a place of punishment. Indeed, the Arbiter, in her infinite compassion, has deemed the souls here still worthy of redemption, and this is their last chance to be something greater.

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

The Master of Revendreth, Sire Denathrius, is an Eternal One, one of the ageless and ever-wise beings who rule the realms of the undying. He is keenly interested in the welfare of mortal souls, devoting himself to the arduous process of ridding them of their pernicious pride.

While he may be kind and gracious, leniency will be detrimental to a soul’s progress. As such, the Master has no other choice but to put them through rigorous rituals to wear away at their encumbrances of mortality. They will inscribe their transgressions on a sinstone to remind them of their failings in life, assisted by the dredgers, diminutive caretakers whose tireless work demonstrates a relentless loyalty to their beloved Sire. The dredgers are the ones who will deliver the souls into the care of the Master’s devoted subjects, the venthyr.

These ashen-skinned venthyr, shaped as Sire Denathrius himself, inhabit the gothic hamlets of Revendreth. The rituals to strip the arrogance of defiant mortal souls also provides the anima on which the Shadowlands thrives; the more prideful a soul, the more abundant the anima. The most trusted venthryr, the Court of Harvesters, are an elite group of aristocrats, each possessing a medallion of the Master’s essence so as to allow Sire Denathrius to watch over it all.
The dredger brute used as a beast of burden to haul sinstones, by Jon McConnell, senior character arist.
The stoneborn, chiseled from the quarries of Revendreth by the Stonewright, are the defenders of the realm. They are ever vigilant against those who would seek to thwart the Master’s benevolent mission. Should souls shed their dark pasts, they can return to Oribos to be reassigned, or stay on to become venthyr themselves to continue the cycle. Some may still fail to be absolved; on losing their final chance at redemption, they will move onwards to the Maw.
Concept exploring how gargoyles might equip armour by Matthew McKeown, character artist.
A lot of the design for Revendreth is easily recognizable from its gothic, vampiric inspirations. The place is timeless, as death can be. The gargoyles and spikes would hardly be intimidating to the prideful souls who find themselves ferried here, but it sure does sets the mood. The gothic theme is complemented by medieval elements with the castle walls, and armoury.
It’ll be the first time creatures like these are seen in World of Warcraft. A death warg, by Jay Nam, character artist.
The gargons are loyal beasts, unable to betray their sacred duty. They’re animated with the anima, filling a variety of roles: guards, hunting companions, pets, and fellow tormenters of souls, and even more rarely, as front line against ground forces. The venthyr keep death wargs as pets, creatures with the face of a bat, and a bear’s body.
A ritual anima device, by Mat Myrvold, prop artist.
The venthyr are known throughout the Shadowlands for their skill in exsanguination of only the most pure, concentrated anima from souls. The process is not a clean one, with the resulting unresolved energies and pollutants needing to be run off. Considering the venthyr’s visual identity of gargoyles and spikes, this device was part of the early development for the grates used to dump the waste out of Castle Nathria into the Endmire.
A one-handed sword and shield concept building off the base themes, by Sukjoo Choi, character artist.
Completing the atmosphere is the music of Revendreth. What does “pride” sound like? The process of ridding souls of pride comes with a risk of succumbing to its corrupting influence, as sound designer Aaron Craft explains.
It doesn’t feel bad to have it; it’s not outright bad in small and controlled doses; but it can quickly lead one down an intoxicating and destructive path, unraveling in arrogant wrath and ugly rage.
Aaron Craft
As such, the magic needed to change accordingly to the state of its wielder: seductive and alluring in the hands of a venthyr engaged in ritualistic activities, and feral and monstrous should you show hostility. Hear the breathy sounds of the succubus of temptation, or the desperation of pride lashing out.
As you wander Revendreth, you can hear the echoes of the past as it builds upon the ruins of itself. They may hold their heads up high, but decay has happened nonetheless.

Even the mightiest will have to bow their heads when they arrive in Revendreth, but it is all in service for the greater good. With the anima waning, how will you help them return to their glory days to prepare souls for absolution? You’ll have to find out for yourself when you play the beta, or when the expansion fully releases.

In March 2015, Nexon and Square Enix formed a partnership to develop Final Fantasy XI R for the mobile, which was slated for release in 2016, but it was delayed for the longest time. Six years since the initial announcement for the reboot, it would appear that the game has been canned for real.

Rumours had started to float around December 2020 on the status of the game, suggesting that developed had ceased entirely. A new report by way of GameBiz all but confirms that the rumour was indeed true. A statement from Nexon had abandoned the project in February 2021, though no details were disclosed as to why. Square Enix itself has yet to provide any clarification whatsoever on the project. Even though the final product never came into fruition, we were given a glimpse of what it could have been:

Looking at the screenshots that were released with a job posting for a developer for the game, Final Fantasy XI R appears to have been quite the looker, which should be the case, as it utilised the ever reliable Unreal Engine 4 for its graphics. Unfortunately, that is all we will ever see of the game, although not that big a loss, considering the original Final Fantasy XI is well and alive today.

Fans Are Really Digging The Fast Action Of Neon White

With so many games on the horizon, it’s hard to keep notice of those smaller indie titles that drop out of nowhere and prove to take the Gaming Community by storm, but it seems that the recently released Neon White is one of them.

Neon White was just released on Switch and Steam over the weekend and the game has been highly praised by players from around the net.

Referred to by developer Angel Matrix as “The heavenly anime FPS for freaks, by freaks”, Neon White is a fast-paced single-player first-person shooter with visual novel elements.
Players take control of Neon White, an assassin damned to hell who, along with three other assassins has been hand-picked to exterminate a demon infestation in heaven. The soul that kills the most devils gets to stay in heaven while the other three will return to hell.

White thinks this will be pretty easy for an accomplished killer like himself, but he can’t help but feel he knows these other damned souls from a past life…

The game has seen Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam with 98 percent of its 1,037 reviews (as of this article) giving the game a thumbs up.
The primary appeal of the game is speed. Many users seem to be addicted to the fast kinetic energy of the game that encourages you to storm through levels as fast as you can with parkour and bullets. It creates a paradise for speed runners.
“This game was an absolute blast from start to finish,” says KyoichiD3sire. “The perfect blend of fast-paced FPS platforming/parkour action with just enough visual novel-style story elements to not make the game boring. The story was excellent even though the voice acting was a bit cringe-inducing at times. 10/10 would parkour again!”
Neon White seems to scratch that itch for more ‘gamey’ games where a player can just jump in easily and get into the meat and bullets of the gameplay as quickly as possible without being bogged down with overly long tutorials, cutscenes, or sidequests.
“This scratches my ADHD-riddled brain more than anything I have ever played” says Funny Bones. “Making a decision every 3-4 seconds in maybe the fastest puzzle game ever made, accompanied by breakcore 10 hours (cure for ADHD) soundtrack by machine girl, this stuff is just juice for the flesh dome.”

The story while not praised quite as much is still seen as enjoyable if a bit predictable. The central highlight is the fact that Neon White has the cool-as-ice voice of Steve Blum, the man behind Cowboy Bebop’s Spike Speigel (and Guilmon). This is a fact that hasn’t gone unaware of users.
“I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me. You know, when I left the house today I was thinking “Damn, I really hope some hot chick paints my brains all over some hallway” And here we are. I mean really, just absolutely destroy me. I’m talkin’ full-on, watermelon-in-the-thighs level carnage.” says MNSTRFCKR, in reference to a popular meme about the Space Cowboy.
I suppose what all these reviews are getting at (even the third one to an extent) is that Neon White is simply a game that feels good to play. Get in, shoot some guys and move on, with some cute anime girls in between, and the people playing it are having way too much fun with it. This final review from Zoe pretty much sums it up:
“Fast forward, the year is 2022, you have long covid, your memory is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and you don’t know left from right. Someone puts Neon White in front of you, Machine Girl is blasting on the title screen, and you swear to god you just heard a familiar voice you can’t place, was that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Spike? You enter the first map and it’s like riding a bike, fast forward two hours you have the #1 global time for three maps, your synapses are restored, your covid is cured, your pores are clear, and your wife’s boyfriends coming over tonight with pizza, and your landlord calls and says your rent is going down $400. The world feels good again. The game feels like if god personally made Quake for autistic bimbos like me.”

It’s always great to see an indie game like Neon White, not based on a familiar IP or backed by a larger publisher getting so much praise from the gaming community. I certainly like its sleek anime design, it reminds me a lot of Mirror’s Edge with all the first-person parkour, but with more guns of course.
If those user reviews are anything to go by, the game has been well worth the time for a number of people, and perhaps it could be for you as well. Could you be ready to speedrun through heaven?

Neon White is available now for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.

Crown Four Kingdoms – Mobile MMORPG by X-Legend Is Now Up For Pre-Registration!

X-Legend is a mobile game developer that usually develops anime-like games like Aura Kingdom Mobile and Time Pact. They had just recently announced the pre-registration for their upcoming mobile MMORPG called Crown Four Kingdom! The game was announced first back in June 2018 as Astral Crown during its CBT in Taiwan. But now, the game has been renamed for its English version as Crown Four Kingdom.

Tiger And Bunny Season 2 Shows Off New Designs

A special livestream has shown off the new designs for Tiger And Bunny Season 2, with some slight tweaks to everyone’s favorite superhero duo.

Dubbed “Style 3”, the new designs for the protagonists of Tiger and Bunny are largely similar to their previous counterparts, although they do look slightly sleeker. One thing to note is that the illustrations don’t feature any branding on them, though that’s likely because the sponsors for the next season have yet to be decided.

On top of that, we also got a peek at the new designs for the protagonists’ regular outfits. Kotetsu in particular has the biggest change, ditching his old waistcoat for a slightly longer one. Barnaby looks largely unchanged, keeping the same leather jacket motif he had from the first season.

It wasn’t just Kotetsu and Barnaby, however. Promotional art for the second season was also shown, along with updated outfits for the rest of the show’s cast. This season takes place after The Rising, the movie following up from Tiger and Bunny Season 1. Golden Ryan, who debuted during The Rising movie was not featured in the art, meaning the character is unlikely to return for the season after he departed.
