Game Career Guide - an ongoing, annual magazine intended for readers contemplating a career in game development - was originally a sister publication of Game Developer magazine but is now handled by Gamasutra.com, itself steward of all things GDM after Game Developer was cancelled.

 

Name:  Game Career Guide

Websites:  www.gamecareerguide.com, www.gamasutra.com

Country:  USA

Number of issues: 14

 

Distributed via trade shows, conferences and related events, some or all early issues - prior to 2008 - were available for purchase although I'm not sure if these ever appeared on traditional news stands.  With the 2008 issue and many following - perhaps all following? - the publication has been available free of charge.  Digitally, at least.

 

Despite Game Developer's demise in 2013, Gamasutra.com has continued publishing Game Career Guide with "Game Developer Magazine" or "Game Developer" still captioned on the cover.  It'd probably be best to include Game Career Guide as a sub-category under Game Developer, in similar fashion to EGM's Sega Force and GamePro's Code Vault.

 

The earliest issue I'm aware of was released in 2002.  Although I know a 2013 issue was planned, I'm not sure if it was ever released.  The issue may have been cancelled with the chaos of Game Developer ending that year.

2013 does exist in print form, I just confirmed it, but it doesn't look like it was ever distributed digitally for whatever reason. Poking around as best I can to see if the PDF still exists.

(I'm ex-UBM and still friends with everyone involved with GCG)
