Tools engineers make the life of games designers, artists and programmers easier by giving them the best tools for the job.
Tools engineers make the life of games designers, artists and programmers easier by giving them the best tools for the job. Some of the time the tools (software programs) used by games developers are bought off-the-shelf but it’s also necessary to have purpose-built software designed specifically for the creation of a particular game. Tools engineers are responsible for creating and maintaining those tools whether they be for the game engine itself or the 3D art suite.
They also work with programmers, artists and designers to figure out what tools to build, explain how they should be used and monitor their effectiveness.
