I often receive letters from aspiring #gamedev ‘s - usually because they were assigned to do so by their professors, and (with #GDC18 here) I’d like to just remind these folks of a few critical things:

This is your very first encounter with a “professional” (so-called). You want to put your best foot forward & leave a good impression - otherwise you’ll just make them annoyed. The game industry is a casual one, yes, but that term is *relative.*

I’m often dismayed at how few individuals put thought and effort into what they write... TBH, I find it insulting. Why should I spend my time writing something long and helpful, I think, when they dashed their email off in 30 seconds?
