Hi Max! Starting with your local scene can be a great way to get your first credits on games/films. Going to meetups, joining Discord servers for creators etc is a good bet. And GAME JAMS! By far one of the best ways to grow your skills and network.

Thank you to everyone who came and made our #gameaudio hang one to remember! We had tons of fun and learned so much from Duncan Watt and his fascinating work in Wwise.

Special thanks to @audiokinetic.bsky.social for sponsoring - we could not have done this without you!
