Such a broad questionвЂ¦ is this in real life or fictional? IвЂ™ll set real life aside for a moment, although that is where true heroism can be found and is neededвЂ¦. Folks coming to Crystal should be craftspeople, intent to bring their ever-evolving talents to bear to the greater team, to make something together beyond anything we could make by ourselves. They all make music, but the scale of the team allows for different creations. A development team, at its best, is a collection of highly skilled and talented people who are choosing to work together to create something bigger than they could on their own. Treat game development like a craft, not just a job. If you could give a prospective future Crystal Dynamics employee one bit of advice, what would it be? Can you give our community a hint at what youвЂ™re currently working on?Д®verything on our current roadmap, and beyondвЂ¦ДЁ.

I get to work with some seriously talented, funny, and smart people where we make вЂњpretend experiencesвЂќ for people to play as a break from вЂњreal life.вЂќ ItвЂ™s a gift.Д§. What is your favorite thing about working at Crystal Dynamics?

A finished game is the result of the contributions of everyone involved, all of which give shape and substance to the final experience.Д¦. People compare games to movies, looking for вЂњthe big director, or the big screenwriter.вЂќ The analogy is close, but ONLY if you really focus on EVERY ROLE in a game team, like key costumes, set construction, audio, editing, production design, security, legal, camera work, craft services, location scouting, contract negotiating, lighting, carpentryвЂ¦ You get my point. What do you wish everyone knew about game development? In my role, IвЂ™m lucky to have gotten to work closely with almost everyone on the team, across various studios, which has been a treat.ДҐ. Games are collaborations amongst developers. WhatвЂ™s one thing you can talk about that you helped implement into MarvelвЂ™s Avengers? The mid 90sвЂ™ modding scene led to a job in QA, which led to a job in design, and things continued from there.Д¤. IвЂ™ve always coded games since I was very young. TIE Fighter, X-Wing Alliance, etc.Дoom maps рџ‰. Too many to name, Tomb Raider (Legend, Anniversary, Rise), X-Wing vs. I work with the various creative leads and team members to help make sure our game development is collaborative and focused, and our games are interesting and fun. Can you do a quick introduction into who you are and what you do on the team? WeвЂ™re kicking off the Dev Spotlight with Morgan Gray, our Lead Game Director! He sat down with us (virtually, of course) to let us in on some fun facts about himself and what itвЂ™s like working as a game dev at Crystal Dynamics.ДЎ.
