Shhh, it's a secret, so let's keep it between us.
Most AAA companies want to test what you know when applying for a position. These aptitude tests are never easy can be quite tricky without any practice. But throughout the years, I've done so many of these Tests for so many Different Positions, that I have a deep understanding of the types of questions for the different jobs they will ask. I want to share this with you. I want you to have the upper hand when applying for Jobs and Ace their test!

Greetings
My name is Emilio Padulo and I am an Senior Tokenomics / Game Economist at Animoca Brands
Ever since I was young I have always been interested in creating games; whether it was inventing RPG games with my sister, creating huge Lego worlds with story-driven adventures or building Excel spreadsheets for Diablo. From childhood my path has always been clear - I would work in the video game industry one way or another.
During my adult years, I continued on this path and obtained two degrees, one in Marketing and another in Game and Level Design. In the course of my degrees, I delved into many theories heavy topics about Game Design & Development such as; the Freemium business model, gamification, analyzing KPIs for optimization, level design, color psychology - just to name a few.
There has been a lot of trial and error in my own personal approaches which are errors I want others to avoid hence why I've started creating these courses to help developers new to the industry to not make the same mistakes I, and many others have done.
I cannot wait to share all that I have learned with you so that you too can become a great game developer in no time. So start now, and take a look at some of the courses I offer. If you have any questions - feel free to reach out!
