Hello I am a super-fan of Rito, I believe the art dept there is top notch (code looks great too form outside at least). Is there any way to get into it without prior game programming experience as SWE? Any advice? SWE 4 YOE Rito please hire me
There are non game team engineering roles that don't require game programing experience!
Ok, so I assume for game programming is required to have prior experience. I’ll monitor the job board on the site, perhaps something I qualify for will come up. Can I ask you what languages and technologies those teams use?
Game teams are all C++ (Unreal or internal engine), services are mostly Golang and Java with pockets of other things.
Yes you can get hired with no game experience. Just don’t apply to a game dev/ in game role and you should be good. Apply !
"Code looks great from the outside" Open the LoL client, click Collection, go to Items, create an Item Set. Click around and have fun seeing what items are built from, like *checks notes* Riftmaker building out of Mikael's. Now click Liandry's and enjoy your client freezing.
Bonus: Get into a game. Buy boots. Buy Trinity Force. Swap their positions in your inventory. Notice that you have different movement speed depending on whether Trinity Force is in the first or second item slot.
Are you trying to say “Bugs shouldn’t happen in a code base if the code was great”? I’m not defending the bugs, but only immature orgs aim 0 bugs. Knowing how hard the LoL teams work, and how passionate they are, I know if you report them they will fix it extremely fast. LoL changes every two weeks. It’s a fluid game and code base. And 100s of folks work on it. It’s a balancing act to provide fun game experience, not to keep the game stale and to have good enough quality. If we were aiming perfection and 0 bugs, we wouldn’t be able to ship the game ever. We would also be scared of making changes.
> Code looks great Lol client is literally worst piece of software I ever saw lmao. Compare it with DOTA client, for example.
Enjoy cyberpunk then I guess
Dunno if it supposed to be an "edgy dunk", but yeah, I will, once DLC releases.
I managed to find a position I like but I also realized I cannot qualify for an H1B. Shot the CV anyway, perhaps US corpo have some other kind of visas for EU folks or I can work from EU offices. Hope not too high but crossing fingers.
Rito knows (it’s an old time meme, just google “Rito please”)
Rito pls
