The real danger here isn't whether you dress properly - it seems like you don't have any acquaintance with anyone presently working there. Lacking insight from people already there, your chances of fitting in are diminished, although probably not by much.

Hey nycynic, a game dev interview should still be considered a technical interview, so take a look at the linked post for answers. If that doesn't answer your question, please provide more details in an edit about the company, the culture, and what you're still confused about.

There's also these posts, which may be helpful: workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/1291/…, workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/11637/…. In fact, there's a lot of great stuff from a search on our site for interview+dress. Hope this helps!

I'm going to leave it closed, since it's clearly a small difference, but this question was specifically about game dev. Not sure what the -1 was about.

I know I'm 3+ years late on this one, but I don't entirely agree that the linked question answers it. The OP specifically asked about interviewing in a certain sub-genre of industry, one that is known even in IT circles for being super casual. The best answer would be one that addresses that sub-genre in particular, or at least one as close as possible, whereas the linked answer is rather broad & generic.

I believe that how you dress for any interview should always serve this goal : to Impress
Always in my interviews, I wear black slacks, black loafers, light colored long sleeves (tucked in), a necktie (not a noisy one ie too colorful or with a character design) and a black leather coat.
Other applicants might retract and think that you're being overkill or being stand-offish, but what I wear shows gives off the energy that I am a capable person and I mean business. Good business.
You should also be able to project what you wear. Stand up straight, smile whenever it matters and shake hands firmly. You should project confidence.
Of course, what you wear won't matter if you don't have the skills to back it up with, technically and orally.

I know I'm 3+ years late on this one, but I don't entirely agree that the linked question answers it. The OP specifically asked about interviewing in a certain sub-genre of industry, one that is known even in IT circles for being super casual. The best answer would be one that addresses that sub-genre in particular, or at least one as close as possible, whereas the linked answer is rather broad & generic.
