The editors of Gamasutra sister publication Game Developer magazine have invited developers to take part in the annual Game Developer Salary Survey, which compares salaries and benefits from throughout the video game industry.
With this information, the publication will provide a snapshot of what developers are earning across a broad swath of disciplines, offering data that can help inform (and hopefully benefit) the entire game development community.
Once again, the survey will maintain its year-on-year comparison of salaries, benefits, and home-owning statistics across North America and Europe, and all developers within these regions are encouraged to participate.
The survey takes approximately seven minutes to complete, and will run until February 17. The results from the survey will debut in the April 2012 issue of Game Developer magazine.
Those interested in participating can fill out the survey now. The process is completely anonymous, and specific individuals will not be associated with any of the presented information.
Publishing is part of the industry though...
How would you characterize your job in game development?
Select one
Individual indie developer
Member of an indie team
Independent contractor (not part of a team)
Not involved with the game industry
That's after selecting between salaried and non-salaried.
None of these apply to me.
