****************************************************************************************************

1) What do you think are the key elements for developing a successful game?

Example answer:
"In my opinion, the story or narrative of the game, the user interface of the game, the controls and the efficiency of the code used to create the game are some of the key elements in developing a successful video game. Video game users must be intrigued by the story of the game to be interested in it. Stunning graphics and sound coupled with intuitive and user-friendly controls will encourage the player to explore the game. Efficient code allows the developers to achieve their design goals and the company to make money while marketing the game."

2) Please list some of the typical mistakes that video game developers make when programming a new game.

Example answer:
/"Throughout my career, I have made some mistakes and witnessed other developers making them. Fortunately, I always learn from my mistakes and therefore am unlikely to repeat them. The most common programming mistakes I have made throughout my career include undeclared functions, extra semicolons, undeclared variables, and uninitialized variables."

3) Have you ever worked with a graphic designer to develop a game? If so, how did the collaboration go?

Example answer:
/"I often work with graphic artists and other project stakeholders who are not video game developers. When communicating with these team members, I make sure to use common, easy-to-understand language to ensure they understand my points. I prefer to use collaboration tools like Slack when working on projects to ensure more effective communication and to share documentation with other team members./"

4) Can you describe your education and experience in video game development?

Example answer:
/"I have a lot of experience and training in developing complex video games. In college, I worked with my peers on several game development projects. One of our games was commercialized by one of the leading game publishers in the industry. After college, I was hired by the publisher and continued my training as a junior employee. As I gained experience, I consciously took on the challenge of working on more complex projects. While this was difficult, it allowed me to develop the skills needed for this position. I hope to continue learning while developing games for your company./"

5) Can you talk about implementing a specific feedback process to improve your design methodology?

Example answer:
"I'm always open to feedback and constructive criticism on my video game designs. For example, I was recently tasked with developing a sequel to a game I designed several years ago. Before I started designing the new game, I sought out some users of the original game and asked for their feedback. I used this to improve the new game's features and incorporate some new ideas that I hadn't thought of. As a result, the new game was widely accepted by players and it was one of the most profitable products the company produced."
