Episode 22: Layoffs

Hey everyone! I'm back after a bit of a hiatus to discus somewhat of a sensitive topic: Layoffs. As some of you may know, I was recently affected by a layoff myself back in June. Initially I wanted to do an episode while in the thick of it, but that never really happened. Shortly after landing at Red 5 Studios a coworker who listens to the podcast, (and an audio professional!) helped me get it going again! So here it is, the episode about Layoffs. Guests this episode are all coworkers of mine at Red 5: World Artist, Zach Turner; Game Designer, Scott Rudi; and Audio Designer, Daniel Beck.

welcome back, and another great informative episode…you should plug the facebook page in the next podcast.

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 a world artist for Red 5 Studios, and was previously an artist at BioWare. As you can guess, a large majority of my guests for the show are pulled from the amazingly talented friends I work with.

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.

Games Industry Mentor Your foot, our door.
