How Game Design Graduates May Benefit From E3

By Jennifer Marie Anderson


It's unfortunate that E3 has come and gone. Seen as the biggest week for video game players and enthusiasts everywhere, the massive amount of news has not gone unnoticed. Those who are considered authorities, in this field, have made the most out of said event and it's something that students in game design should be aware of for the future. For those who may want to get involved in particular press event, read on.

To start off, make sure that you have a firm understanding of social media usage. To say that this matters would be an understatement, especially in this day and age where virtually everyone uses the likes of Facebook, Twitter, or what have you. During the course of E3, you should stay involved, posting news and updates as they occur. When you're able to keep everyone in the loop, even those who weren't able to attend, you make that much more out of this particular event.

What you must also know about E3 is that it's the perfect place for announcements to be made. Think about the massive degree of publicity that this event generates; it would make sense for both big and small companies to save their most prominent news for the event in question. It's almost like playing your hand in a game of cards; you want to do so when the time is right. The same logic applies to E3, so please exercise such a level of care.

You should also make sure that, following E3, updates are given. This event matters, without question, but the follow-through will help you get even more out of this event. When you wait too long to announce anything, whether it's in relation to video game production or what have you, you start to lose valuable momentum that could have helped you in a more ideal situation. Keep your audience in the loop, as this will possibly bring you even more success.

Hopefully these points have helped you better understand how to get the most out of your E3 experience. Many producers and developers have the opportunity to make the most out of this show, not only from an entertainment standpoint but a business-related one as well. Not only do you want to put smiles on people's faces, but ensure that advertisers, shareholders, and the like are kept happy. The more that you make out of E3, the more that you'll succeed as a game designer.
