Of gaijin and putrid swamps of indecision.
Saturday, January 20th, 2007The excellent Japanmanship blog, a chronicle of a British video game artist working in Japan, discusses the dearth of foreign developers in the Japanese market. Citing pay issues and a misguided lack of value placed on gaijin artists, programmers, and designers, author JC Barnett offers advice to current and would-be game industry employees hoping to prosper in Japan.
There’s also a graph illustrating the disparity in pay rates between Japanese developers and those from the rest of the world. In a word: Ouch.
