Every game developer knows the difficulty of trying to find a job in an industry filled with so much talent. But there are many great opportunities to put that talent to use outside of traditional entertainment games. In this talk, Kirk Nicholls and Avi Moore will delve into that space beyond: into serious games. Exploring fields like education, simulations for business decision making, gamification, and applying design skills outside of games entirely.
