Veteran Technical Director James Marr Answers: What Makes A Great Game Engineer? - a podcast by Deconstructor of Fun

James Marr has been a Technical Director at studios including DeNA, Zynga and N3TWORK Studios. His work includes Eliminate, which was not only the first 3D, competitive shooter on the App Store, but its first free-to-play game as well, as well as top-grossing hit Legendary: Game of Heroes. In this wide ranging discussion, he goes deep on the qualities which separate Good vs Great when it comes to Game Engineering. He blows Ethan's mind talking about why it's not the hard skills like math and language proficiency as much as the soft skills - Empathy, Listening & Communication - which are the necessary ingredients of a truly great game engineer. This is hands down Ethan's favorite interview of 2022 and is simply not to be missed!
