Get Into GameDev: ​cheat-codes for gamedev interviews

Overview

My name is Matthew Ventures and I'm a professional game developer with a passion for teaching/helping others!

This book is designed for novice developers to help them pass their interviews and for experienced developers who wish to brush up on their skills by reviewing topics or going through the practice questions.

This guide is fool-proof! I would know, because it worked for me and I am often-times foolish. Below are some of the teams I have had the privilege of working with.

• Sony Santa Monica (God of War: Ragnarok)
• id Software (Doom Eternal)
• Epic Games (Fortnite)
• Raven Software (Call of Duty: Warzone)

In the years this guide has been available, dozens of developers have reached out to me over email and LinkedIn to share how it helped. Checkout some of their testimonials below! I'm confident that if you're willing to put in the time studying, this guide can help you as well.

You can preview the free chapters of this book on the Get Into GameDev website, described here: https://youtu.be/5oUFcWyJ5Qs

Testimonials

"I just wanted to follow up and thank you for your advice and all the time you put into helping students break into the game industry. Thanks to your help and advice, I was able to land an internship as a gameplay engineer at Blizzard on the Diablo IV team."
— Zakarya Zahhal, 2023

"I recently experienced a studio closure and had to start the hunt for a new job with no warning. 'Get into Game Dev' by Matthew Ventures proved invaluable in my job hunt. Even as a senior engineer with nearly a decade in the game industry, this guide helped refresh my knowledge, especially when it came to C++ and 3D math. Both those new to game development and more experienced folk can get a lot out of it!"
— Thomas Klovert, 2023

" Your guide was invaluable! All of the questions during my final interviews were straight from your guide! It was unbelievably helpful! I would absolutely recommend it to any other aspiring game devs."
— Avik Shenoy, 2023

" I just wanted to say I super appreciate all the work you've put into the Get Into Game Dev book and your YouTube. I've been programming for a long time now, but self-taught, and there's a lot of things I can do but wouldn't use the right terminology when discussing with other coders. This seems like a great way for me to work on that :) Thanks again!"
— Ian Snyder, 2023
