Why mobile games matter & How to land a job in GameDev (David Vykopal, NOXGAMES)
Abstract: Mobile games are often overshadowed by AAA titles, yet they dominate the gaming industry in revenue, accessibility, and innovation. But beyond their massive player base and business potential, mobile games also offer one of the easiest entry points for aspiring game developers. In this session, I’ll break down why mobile gaming matters—exploring key trends, rising genres, and the unique opportunities this platform provides.
At the same time, I’ll share practical advice on how to land a job in the industry, drawing from my own journey from a 17-year-old junior programmer to a production director and executive board member at a +30-person mobile game studio. Whether you're a student, an indie dev, or considering a career switch, this talk will give you the insights and strategies to kickstart your career in one of the most dynamic sectors in gaming.
