Written by Ryan Brown on January 31st, 2019
1st Answer Example
"A couple of years ago I worked on a game called Dungeon Smash. We were one of the first developers ever to try incorporating GameSpy matchmaking. This breakthrough meant that iOS and Android users could play not only with each other, but they could now also collaborate with PlayStation and PC users. It was an exciting time!"
Written by Ryan Brown on January 31st, 2019
2nd Answer Example
"Years ago, I worked on a word game that pushed industry boundaries by allowing for cross-platform multiplayer activity. The concept was uncommon at the time. Users could log in on the app or via Facebook, so there was also a social integration component. Then, players could challenge their friends over iOS, Android, or even Facebook. Our group was one of the first teams to pull this off. I look forward to being part of your development team at Rockstar Games and creating more groundbreaking gaming experiences."
2. When have you applied a unique or creative approach to solving a difficult development problem?
How to Answer
The interviewer would like to see that you are capable of overcoming issues that arise during development, uniquely and creatively. Assure Rockstar Games that you will not be the type of developer who throws their hands in the air and gives up at every turn. Show that you genuinely dig in to solve an issue. Begin by giving an overview of the difficulty, then discuss the action you chose to take, and then the positive outcome.
Written by Ryan Brown on January 31st, 2019
1st Answer Example
"My former company created primarily Android applications, and we used Java, in which I am an expert level user. One of the games we were developing needed a more modern programming language and some of the features required simplification. I brought in a contractor who was advanced in Kotlin, which nobody on my team understood well enough at that time. The choice to bring someone in was the right one; however, I chose to enroll in Kotlin coursework shortly after. I am proud to say that I now bring solid skills in both Java and Kotlin."
Written by Ryan Brown on January 31st, 2019
2nd Answer Example
"I was recently asked to take an existing iOS application and create it for Android. The most significant issue I came across was that the mobile app relied heavily on the fingerprint sensor as part of the user experience. Since Android is open source, apps are used on a variety of hardware. This open source meant that I needed to get creative by implementing multiple authentications, allowing for the various hardware features of all Android devices. It was a significant challenge but one that I genuinely enjoyed."
3. How do you ensure that you are meeting your clients' needs when it comes to their property wish list?
How to Answer

Open communication throughout the process is my number one priority as a Real Estate Agent."
Written by Ryan Brown on January 31st, 2019
2nd Answer Example
"I find that the easiest way to start is by asking my clients what they do not want. From there, we can compile a list of must-have's. I will ask my clients which areas they are willing to compromise and which they are not. This way, I can make a final list of properties and truly only show them the ones that meet those 'must-have' requirements."

Written by Ryan Brown on January 31st, 2019
1st Answer Example
"For the past year, I have been playing Fortnite. It is, hands down, my favorite game.

20. What is a freemium game and how has it revolutionized mobile gaming?
How to Answer
The interviewer wants to gauge your depth of knowledge when it comes to mobile gaming, and the pricing strategies available. As you likely know, freemium is a pricing strategy where the mobile game or app is a free download; however, users can pay for additional, premium features. Explain what you know freemium to be, and discuss how you think this strategy has changed the mobile gaming industry.
Written by Ryan Brown on January 31st, 2019
1st Answer Example
"My favorite example of a freemium game shaking up the market would be Pokemon Go. I recently read that the game has earned nearly $2 billion to date and is still going strong at around $2 million in revenue per day. The success is, of course, in part to Pokemon popularity as well as the excitement surrounding augmented reality; however, I think being a freemium model has also helped. People love free apps, but they will often pay to avoid ads, interruptions, get the extra Pok? Coins, and more. Freemium is the first pricing model to allow for impulse purchases."
Written by Ryan Brown on January 31st, 2019
2nd Answer Example
"People love to win, and gamers will easily pay the 99 cents it takes for extra coins and a chance to beat the game. Freemium is similar to gambling in that it works off of human impulse and desire to win. My favorite freemium game is still Candy Crush! It follows the freemium model of being a free download with pay-for-premium features; however, the game reportedly earns nearly half a million dollars per day."

Other factors, and ones that I see Rockstar Games doing well, include replayability, intuitive controls, and characters that the players understand and can relate to."
Written by Ryan Brown on January 31st, 2019
2nd Answer Example
"Of the video games that I play and the ones that are most successful, I see a few common factors that include great characters and storyline, as well as short and long-term goals for gamers to achieve. Players need to be able to come back and not feel that the game is repetitive, but also feel like the game is familiar as well. it's a delicate balance, but I feel that Rockstar Games does this very well with the games you have released recently such as A, B, and C."

Also, being mindful of your surroundings and everyday life is very important. Many games that are very successful are so because the characters and storyline are relatable. Discuss how you keep your idea machine running hot!
Written by Ryan Brown on January 31st, 2019
1st Answer Example
"The first rule of thumb for me is to play a lot of video games! If I am unsure what is out there, what is working, and where existing games could be improved, it would be a serious challenge for me to come up with workable ideas. Also, I am very active in the gaming community and follow many forums. I want to see what people are saying about the world's most popular games."

I appreciate the effort your developers put into a great visual experience."
