A Games Industry Networking Masterclass with Jay Shin
Networking with Purpose
We recently hosted a live Networking in the Games Industry Master Class for our Limit Break Mentorship community, led by Jay Shin, Director of Arrogant Pixel Ltd. The session was streamed live on our Discord server and is now available to watch on our YouTube channel.
Networking is often talked about in abstract terms within the games industry, but Jay’s session focused on practical, real-world approaches that developers can apply immediately. Drawing from years of experience as a studio director, mentor, and industry professional, Jay broke down what meaningful networking actually looks like and how to approach it with confidence and authenticity.
The masterclass covered topics such as building genuine professional relationships, navigating events and online spaces, following up effectively, and avoiding common networking mistakes that early-career developers often make. Jay also shared personal experiences from her own career, offering insight into how long-term connections are built over time rather than through one-off interactions.
For our Limit Break mentees, this session provided clarity on an area of the industry that can often feel intimidating or inaccessible. The emphasis was not on self-promotion, but on communication, mutual respect, and understanding how to contribute value within professional communities.
This talk forms part of our wider mission at Aero Astro Arts to support emerging talent through access to experienced industry voices. By hosting live sessions like this, we aim to give our community direct exposure to knowledge that is rarely taught in formal education.
Watch the Full Masterclass
