Inside Star Trek: Shattered Universe

DGD: What kind of skills and applications would you recommend to someone looking at joining the game development industry?HM: Do something, anything, to stand out from the crowd! For programming positions, make sure to have one or two small demos that show off not only your programming abilities but also your design abilities. For example, if you do a terrain demo, take the time to enhance it with some music, or possibly add some environment effects like fog. Little touches like that go a long way. The same thing holds true for artists as well. Make sure that your portfolio contains enough variety to show your range (from characters to vehicles) as well as some material that you’ve designed from the ground-up.
