A lot of game developers admit that they sort of fell into the job by accident. Some come from tech, some from the film business, or possibly even just from getting a element of a game’s neighborhood. Evening College Studio’s Sean Krankel, even so, came from the specifically uncommon path of the daytime soap opera.
On this month’s episode of IGN Unfiltered, the Oxenfree and Afterparty developer joins host Ryan McCaffrey to talk about how he worked his way from an EB Games shop, by means of an internship with a daytime soap opera in Los Angeles, and by means of Disney’s animated films, prior to producing his way into game improvement.
“My initially introduction to LA was, ‘Oh, of course you hang out with [famous TV producer] Aaron Spelling and you go to the mansion,’” Krankel mentioned. “And [one time] I truly threw up in Aaron Spelling’s bowling alley underground by error.”
