What recruiters actually look for

Game designer screens want GDDs and playtest learnings. Show a prototype + notes. Wasted effort: ideas without playable proof. Studio and campus screens still reward ownership stories over tool-logo lists. Bring one artifact — case study, prototype, lookbook page, or critique notes — you can defend in depth.
