Visit to JAGEX
JAGEX is British video games developers and publishers based in Cambridge, they have released over 40 games including their most well known, the massive MMORPG RuneScape.
During our visit we explored the offices and met some of the employees there including Creative Manager, Mark Oglevie and Production Manager, Justin Edwards. The Cambridge based JAGEX studio contains around 170 employees each with varying roles in a specific team. Teams include Translators, Customer Support, Legal and Finance and PR and Marketing. Personally I would not want to take part in any of these roles but rather the more creative side of production for example, Design or Creative Services. Also during the visit, Oglevie explained that when looking for potential employees they look for previous work and a portfolio, they also much prefer a person who specialises in a particular area or program, the 4 he stated were Maya (3D modelling), Unity (game creation), Creative Suite (art and asset design) and C++ (coding).
