Game Jobs
Articles about video game jobs, with an emphasis on mobile games. Hardcore Droid has included a variety of pieces about game industry jobs.
Indie game developers have written articles about how they started creating video games. We also publish pieces explaining how to become a games journalist. Additionally our writers compose articles on how to write and publish game reviews.
Some of our Game Jobs articles describe careers in gaming from the perspective of an individual. These articles recount how video game professional made their way in the highly competitive game industry. Often these take the shape of interviews with game designers. Hardcore Droid also posts pieces written by gaming content writers. Often these recount the work of a game journalist.
As with all of our articles, the question of how core gamers would enjoy a piece always remains in the forefront of our work.
This concept of hardcore gaming as well as hardcore gamers speaks to the theme of Hardcore Droid. We celebrate mobile games. We are looking to celebrate Android games that contain the depth, richness and narrative complexity of core video games.
To this end, all of our articles, including those about game jobs stem from the theme of hardcore games on Android. Consequently, we always consider and discuss, often in a roundabout manner, preemium mobile games instead of freemium mobile games.
Consequently, we review, assess and write about paid titles more frequently than free games. Also, we are more likely to evaluate games that are sophisticated, multi-faceted and complex.
