Hello! We are business school students in South Korea, studying game developing tools for academic purpose.
We prepared an interview sheet about your opinion about game tools & game developing process as a game developer.
Our survey target is game developers who have used/interested in game developing tool (e.g. Unity, Unreal, cocos2d, RPG maker, etc) and who have high proficiency in coding/programming language.
So if you think you have high codding ability & few game developing experience, we would highly appreciate your answer. It will be great help to our study!
**If you don't mind, please send your numbered answer to jennyhan96@gmail.com or message me back! Thank you:)
