Ana Kronschnabl CEO of Fluffylogic speaks to Women in Games Jobs

FluffyLogic is based in central Bristol working in film, digital media, Internet (and networked) content, video games and hand-held devices (such as PlayStation Portable). Ana met with Antonia Cullum of Women in Games Jobs at the recent Develop conference in Brighton. Her advice to both women and me thinking of working in the games industry is “think about why you love games and about wanting to be involved in the industry. I think it is a hard industry, any creative industry is hard. You have to have a passion for it then have to realise it is actually really hard work. At the end of it you could produce some really fantastic and exciting creative stuff but you have to be quite focused. If you want a career in the computer games industry it generally breaks down into design, production, programming and art. In reality there are a few designers, a few producers, lots of programmers and lots of artist. So pick you area well, I think that will be the real bit of advice.  We have people who come to us that really have lots of disciplines and they’re kind of interested in a lot of stuff. My experience with most creative industries is that people actually like specialist who know what they talking about, so I would say look at that carefully.”
