Quality of Life Survey


Please take the IGDA's Quality of Life Survey.

A few moments of your time will provide essential data on the current state of game developers. The IGDA's Quality of Life Committee will use this data to try to improve the game development experience industry-wide. All survey data will remain anonymous and used in aggregate.

Our industry is notorious for the toll it takes on people: long hours, high levels of stress, difficulty to conciliate career and family life. As a result, many game developers leave the business within a few years, the industry as a whole suffers from the loss of experience and productivity, and must pay for repeated hiring and training.

The IGDA's Quality of Life Committee studies these problems and will propose practical solutions in a Quality of Life White Paper to be presented at GDC 2004.
