IWP 68 | Unity & Windows Porting labs (2/2): advice on how to become a game developer

At the end of August 2013, we gathered a crew of technical experts and headed to the Unity Unite 2013 event in Vancouver, British Columbia, where we worked hands-on with developers for three days in our Porting Lab.

By the end of the lab, we had helped developers port about 80 apps from iOS, Android, and other platforms to Windows Phone or Windows Store.

We asked with several developers to give some advice on how to become a game developers.
