    I really enjoyed the episode, good work. I’m a regular at some video-game forums and sometimes I just get angry when random people start calling developers lazy for not adding certain game-mechanics or the like to some games.

    Oh well, I hope another episode will come up soon! Can’t come soon enough, great stuff.

    Hey Aaron, thanks for making this awesome podcast. The information presented is very invaluable to me. I enjoyed all of the episodes so far, and I was wondering if you could do an episode for people interested in User Interface design like me. Thanks alot, and I will be sure to donate when I can. Cheers!

So what’s this all about?

This podcast is dedicated to being a free information source for those looking to get their foot in the door, as well as a tool for industry professionals who need a good resource to pass along to anyone who might need advice.

As many others in the industry, I have received many emails from driven individuals who are trying to get into the video game industry and seeking information. For a while now, I have been thinking of ways to best answer these questions, not just for one individual, but for many. This is what started the Games Industry Mentor.

A bit about myself:

My name is Aaron Canaday and I work as an environment artist for BioWare Austin, and as you can guess, a large majority of my guests for the show are pulled from the amazingly talented friends I have at that studio.

To send in a question - email gamesindustrymentor@gmail.com, or contact me on twitter at acanaday and I will do my best to answer those questions on a show.
