MCV/DEVELOP News, events, research and jobs from the games industry
The 15th Anniverary issue of Develop magazine is now available in both print and digital editions, packed with all the insight and advice you’ve come to know and love from us.
To kick off our celebration, we asked multiple leading developers from studios of all sizes to define the biggest changes to games development since Develop first launched in December 2000 – and no, they didn’t all say ‘the iPhone’.
We also have our annual recruitment special, offering advice on how to improve your chances of finding that perfect new job as we head into 2016. Plus, an in-depth look at Improbable’s ambitious SpatialOS tech, world-building tools that could change the way games are developed.
For print subscribers, the December/January issue also comes with the tenth anniversary edition of the Develop 100 – which ranks the world’s most successful studios in 2015 – and the latest Develop Jobs Extra – our who’s who of studios that are currently hiring.
The print edition of our October issue is on its way to subscribers now. You can also read Develop through your browser, mobile or tablet device here. Not a subscriber to our print magazine? You can subscribe for as little as £35 right here.
