Joy Horvath is an experienced game developer and professor of game development that now works Unity Technologies as one of their first instructional designers. If you take any of Unity’s online courses, you’ll find her touch everywhere, including games that she developed specifically for students to practice coding skills. She’s worked at Unity for four years and has watched the explosion of indie game development from the inside.

We talk about her journey from costume design to game design, how to take advantage of opportunity when it strikes, and the importance of the people you meet along your journey.

She’s helping lead the charge with Unity’s recent decision to open its learning platform for free to the public, and Joy and I are both incredibly passionate about a future where quality learning material is freely available online for every curious human.
