Train2Game News Jobs for Devs in Denmark

Employment opportunities in Denmark at major companies and indie developers.

The Train2Game team is always on the lookout for employment openings for students and possible job opportunities in the future. We’ve recently been in touch with Copenhagen Capacity, an employment drive for jobs in Denmark and heard about the incredible opportunities available to IT and gaming professionals.

We spoke with Anders Peter Kierbye Johansen about job opportunities in Denmark and his role as HR Director for Unity. We also managed to get our hands on a video that shows Australian Wayne Johnson talking about his experiences working as an Indie Developer in Denmark.

”My name is Anders Peter Kierbye Johansen, I am 40 years old and an HR Director for Unity. I am currently responsible for HR in Europe.  In my role I organize the HR team in Europe which consists of six employees and six recruiters. I studied Psychology, worked as a Psychologist, then went into Recruitment, Business support and then heading up HR for Unity.”

“I ensure we solve the key challenges which Unity needs to get right, concerning:”

“Recruitment:  We need to hire 200+ people before end of the year. So recruitment of highly technical talent is a difficult challenge and we aim to hire some of the best we can.”

“Onboarding: Ensuring all new employees are introduced to the company and the way we work; methods, best practice and a clear definition of their job, so they can become productive asap.”

“Data Quality: When we grow as rapidly as we do (50% growth per year in employees) it is critical that the basic data is in place. Otherwise the organisation will become messy and this will affect everyone in the company. So we need to get it right the first time around.”

“Talent Management: Making sure we know the talents of our employees and that we provide the right challenges for them, while ensuring there is never a chance they will consider leaving us!”

“Performance Management: Making sure our employees receive the feedback and support they need to become successful in their jobs. This requires clear goals and constant feedback so any employee at any time will know exactly if the work he or she delivers is what it should be.”

“Organisational development: Ensuring flexible structures which are continuously adapted to fit the current state of the organisation. Reviewing how to best organise teams and work so the company is able to grow while being able to deliver results.”

“It is rare you get an opportunity to be part of a company with a mission that makes complete sense. Unity Technologies wants to democratise games development. This purpose is still as valid today as when it was decided almost ten years ago. Unity is actually fulfilling its mission and is making a difference for people all over the world, both people who are building games but also people that are playing games, for example; playing Hearthstone on various platforms against each other.”

“It is exciting to be in a company which is going through a hyper growth phase. This is very challenging as we are hiring highly talented employees that need to be hired and relocated from all over the world, at the same time managing a complex organization which needs to absorb these new people while at the same time remaining productive.”

“We recruit for all areas. Software Engineers are always welcome and people who have tried building games, we will always be interested in. We are at any time ready to do some opportunistic hires. Meaning when we meet great people we are ready to hire them even though the right job may not be immediately available. However we are able to offer so many hard problems to solve that we can absorb every talented engineer we encounter.”

“I have been in the Games industry for two years now. It is an exciting industry, filled with small independent entrepreneurs and start-ups. It is exciting to work with people who truly have a passion for what they do. Of course people are people and what Software Developers need to be empowered is only slightly different from how you need to support other types of professions.”
 
“In general Denmark is an easy place to live. You basically only have to pay your rent and other than that everything else is paid for. It is a safe and truly pleasant place to live. In Copenhagen there are many quiet and meditative places to relax and hang out and the quality of life is high. Almost all developers which we have working here enjoy their life here and the attrition is close to zero so we must be doing something right, both in Unity but also in Copenhagen. Also, industry statistics say that Games Development is growing here.”

“At Unity we look for people with an inherent passion. People who prefer to spend their evenings hacking away on their pet projects. We most often see these people as successful at Unity. So when they apply they can often attach a nice portfolio which is a testament to their skills and achievements and also show us what they could do for us in regards to some of the hard problems we are trying to solve.”

Train2Game News Games Development skills in demand

Serial Entrepreneur says Games Development expertise are needed in his companies

Koldo Garcia is co-founder and BizDev Director at Madpixel, creator of Madgazine  and also co-founder and CEO at The Mad Video. We spoke to him to hear from this successful Creative about his career in areas similar to games development and to gain an understanding of transferrable skills. It was also a great chance to hear about his personal history and the incredible projects he is currently working on.

What is your personal working history?

“Although I have a degree in business administration early I changed my mind and re-oriented my career towards design. I worked as a freelance designer for years in several areas (graphic design, corporate identity, etc.) until I started to work as web designer around 1998. In 1999 I founded Madpixel with my colleague Iñaki Arredondo, with the idea of combining design and technology. There, I specialized in UI Design and UX. I also played the CEO role. In 2011 I founded The Mad Video, a start-up focused on interactive video, where I’m the CEO. But I still actively collaborate with Madpixel as BizDev Director and Product Strategy Advisor.”

What experiences shaped your development as person and your ideas?

Working with colleagues with strong ethics it’s been definitively very important in my life. Also my experience these three last years with my other project, The Mad Video, it has been very important. I lived for three years in San Francisco, as many other startups from everywhere, and this was challenging and also demystifying. And from the personal point of view, living in a completely different culture was very enriching too.

How did you get into what you do now?

“At the beginning, at Madpixel we were focused on any kind of multimedia projects, but in the last years we began to develop our own products, specially focused on providing digital solutions for Museums and Cultural Institutions. Why this sector? We developed several tailor-made projects for clients in this area which were really successful. This gave us the opportunity to detect some areas where we could offer innovative solutions for them, and we decided to jump into it. Now we commercialize three products/services for this sector: ArtGigapixel (super-high resolution images), SecondCanvas (app/widgets builder for Museums), and Madgazine (platform to build digital magazines).”

Do you find there are transferrable skills from Video Games to what you do?

“Well, I have to say that in our past activity in Madpixel, we developed several online games, and this experience was for sure something worthy for our next projects. But talking more specifically about our present activity, I think there are several areas where Video Games could have a fit with us: 3D environments combined with our gigapixel publishing technology could be something interesting, for instance. And of course, all the gamification techniques are very interesting to offer museums new experiences for their audiences, especially for the younger ones.”

Can you tell us a little bit about Madgazine?

“Madgazine is an online platform which allows any kind of user to build their own digital and multimedia publications, magazine-style. Its CMS allows you to create the content once, and automatically get different outputs adapted to different devices and platforms: web, mobile devices (iOS and Android, both in HTML5 and as native apps).”

How does technology enhance an experience?

“There are so many ways I can’t say just one example. Think of technological companies such as Tesla, Über, Next, Airbnb, and so many more, that are disrupting and innovating through technology so many different aspects of our lives. It’s not only about getting info but about taking actions and interacting with our environment, the closer one and the remote one. I feel like we are living right now a really trascendental change in our world through technology.”
 
Interaction is a theme, is leaping off the screen into a person’s world important?

“Definitively. Interactions combining both the digital and the real world are more and more important. It’s not the future, it’s the present, and is changing our relation with everything. There are so much opportunities in so many areas that I can’t imagine in the next year’s a single thing where interaction between both worlds doesn’t make sense. Being able to explore artworks that way, makes a big change on how we see, enjoy and understand Art. This definitively gives you a better context of the painting and the painter from several points of view: history, technique, or just curiosities. All of this together allows you to better understand and enjoy Art.”

And Second Canvas, how are you modernising the exhibition experience?

“First at all, we are providing the museums with tools to make easier the process of going digital. And that’s important because museums are facing a big challenge about its own essence, where the digital museum is becoming as important as the physical one: universal and remote access to content, enriched and curated experience, etc. Second Canvas Modules makes this process not only easier, but also affordable for any kind of museum.”

“In this context, some of the modules Second Canvas offers allow visitors (both physical and virtual) enjoy this content in new ways that complement and sometimes enhance the traditional visit: ability to explore artworks with your fingers in your mobile device, zooming in the areas you want to explore until the smallest details, or getting stories about the different elements in a painting, are some of the features we offer. But also the possibility of interacting with beacons during the visit, having experiences combined with wearable gadgets, or changing the way art can be taught at schools and universities. The experience has been really welcomed. Audiences are asking us for more and more artworks in these innovative formats, and that’s incentivising museums to create more Second Canvas-style content.”

Madpixel, please tell us more?

“Madpixel is the company developing our three products/services. I didn’t tell you anything about one of them, ArtGigapixel, yet. ArtGigapixel is a team within Madpixel, specialized in very high resolution images captures. We have developed the software and hardware required for this kind of projects, and we are right now the company leader in this technology, working with hundreds of museums all around the world. Madpixel has given me the opportunity of experiencing art as never before. And as designer, I really love this. To be able to explore these artworks, zooming on details, and see the painter technique, and the evolution of techniques along the years, it’s been really wonderful for me.”

What would you say to a student, wanting to get ahead in the world?

“Don’t be afraid of changing your mind. Follow your instinct and do what you makes you feel great. And work hard, but don’t forget that life is greater than projects.”

Train2Game News MetalGL available

Posted on by

The Brenwill Workshop Ltd. announces the availability of MetalGL, which seamlessly brings the performance of Metal to OpenGL games and applications on iOS devices.

MetalGL is an implementation of the  OpenGL ES 2.0 API that runs on Apple’s  Metal graphics framework on compatible iOS devices. With MetalGL,  OpenGL developers get many of the performance benefits of  Metal, without having to abandon the proven and familiar  OpenGL ES 2.0 API, or rewrite rendering logic and shaders for a different platform.

MetalGL unleashes the power of  Metal’s low-latency rendering to let OpenGL games and applications perform up to 3x the number of draw calls, all without changing the way the game or app use  OpenGL.

It’s all automatic. Developers can continue to use a single  OpenGL API to build games and applications that run unchanged across multiple devices, platforms, and operating systems, including those that support Metal.  MetalGL automatically detects whether the iOS device supports  Metal, and will use it where available. This automatic portability even extends to shaders, as  MetalGL will convert GLSL shaders to their  Metal Shading Language  equivalents, either automatically and transparently at run time, or at development time using  MetalGL’s shader conversion tools.

“With MetalGL, developers have the opportunity to triple the performance of their  OpenGL ES 2.0 games and apps on iOS devices without having to rewrite a single line of their game logic, OpenGL framework calls, or shaders”, said Bill Hollings, President of The Brenwill Workshop Ltd., the creators of MetalGL.

“I realised I wanted to study game design when I would be sat in class or in my room thinking of ideas for games. And when I played games I would always be thinking ‘how could this game be better?’”

“Then one day searching through the internet to see how easy it was to become a games designer, I came across the Train2Game website. I liked what I saw so applied. A month later I had a phone call saying someone will be round to make sure this is what and then I started.”

“Studying Games Design at Train2Game is great because I study when I want and at my own pace. But when I get to a point I get stuck on, other students help me more than the tutor team does!”

“My team is called BearGames. We are currently made up of three people: me as the Games Designer, Finance, Marketing and Leader. Macaulay Tennant as the developer who I met on the 2014 fun day on Minecraft, Fabio Rodrigues as artist and animator who I recruited from the Train2Game FB page.”

“Both of them are great people and we are all great friends that can have a laugh and play games together. We are currently looking for another Developer and Artist/Animator to help on the work load and most importantly we need someone who is good at sounds and music.”

“We are currently working on a command your own spaceship fleet to defeat the aliens. It will include a campaign and various multiplayer modes so you can work in a team or on your own to complete different objectives. We don’t have a name for it yet but we do have most of the art work completed.”

“It is a combat strategy game, players will use a different strategy for each level that you will decide from either a pre-set group or one that the you created yourself. While shooting at the aliens who’s strategy will be constantly changing throughout each level.”

“For the success of our game we want to build a fan base that can help us fundraise for our next bigger game. We want to work with another studio to include voice activation in our games to make them more fun and interactive for the player.”

“We already have our next game planned and will be a much bigger project. Our long team goal is to become a well-known game studio that creates games we want and to make, games the community wants by using the ideas they have and putting some ideas together, then making games for You Tubers and other famous people in the games world.”

“My personal dream is to become the leader of a big games studio based in the UK that creates games for the community and to give a percentage of our profits to charity.”

If you’re interested in working with BearGames you can email mark@train2game.com with a copy of your cv.
