Jarvs Tasker left her teaching job in 2019. She was 28 and had a long-term illness. Seven years later, she runs Jarvs Indie Insights. Her company helps video game makers talk about and sell their games. She now earns twice as much as she did as a teacher. She says her teaching skills also help her manage groups of game players.

On Wednesday, Tasker visited the University of Suffolk in Ipswich. Game Anglia held an event there for small game companies in the East of England. Tasker said young people can find many kinds of jobs in games. She said people need to love the work. She also said many players do not want games made with AI. They want people to make games with their own ideas.

Other people at the event said the UK has many skilled game makers. Mark Backler from Game Anglia said more people can now make and sell their own games, but it is hard to get people to notice them. Sam Read-Graves said the game industry has grown a lot in the past 10 years. Abbygale Dunn, 22, runs a game company in Essex. She said women can feel welcome in this work. The group hopes more small studios in the East of England will make popular games in the future.
