If, like me, you didn't select this character at the start of the game, they can some times be found in Campden High Street (by the clothes shops). Recruited one there this morning, on my first attempt at looking.

As there are no guaranteed spawns for the Video Game Designer, it's best to try and recruit one at the very start of the game. Keep making new games, play through the Dalton segment, complete the Spiderbot sequence and hopefully you'll have a Designer among the options for your starting team.

Note that you need to recruit a "Video Game Designer" specifically. Someone with the "Game Developer" class will not count.

This trophy looks simple but I haven’t found the perfect location where they would spawn. I found one in my game on the streets near the Safehouse and when looking at their profile and investigating a bit, they were working on a building near the Viaduct station so you might want to check there. Another option would be to start a new game (after backing up your save) and hope to find a Video Game Designer when you’re asked to choose your first operative. I tried that, and 3 out of 4 times, there was one of them on the list so it might be faster that way.

To receive the trophy, you need to recruit the “Computer Game Developer” agent. There is also a “Game Developer” in the game, but the trophy does not drop for recruiting him.

The easiest way is to start a new game until the choice of characters allows you to start the game for him. I got caught on the second launch of the "new game"

There is no exact way to find NPCs in the game; often inspect NPCs on the street using L1. Some also note that sometimes they came across a video game developer when initially selecting a character in a game.

I looked everywhere and this developer was nowhere to be found. As a result, he ended up next to our shelter.

Video guide (en). The developer appeared exactly where he was in the video and regardless of the time of day.

I found him near the Blume Tower in the Camden area in a crowd of protesters

Found it near Bloom Tower in the Kanden region. Around 3:28

I found it using the hint SblREgA, before that I had been searching for a long time using all the hints above. The only thing is if you go at night, pickpockets and bad characters hang around there. When approaching the computer game developer, for some reason they got angry, and the desired NPC began to leave. And in order not to look for it again, you need to fixate on it and click

, and then press

- then he will be added to the list of potential recruits.

It is more likely that you will be able to find this NPC in this location. I searched for 5 minutes during the day, returned at night and found it almost immediately. There are several videos on YouTube showing this particular character being found in this place.

I managed to find a developer in the Tower Hamlets area. She appears there at night.
It is necessary to monitor all passersby in this area, not immediately, but over the course of some time it appeared.

I never found a computer game developer in any of the listed places.
I had to start a new game according to the advice above, from the fourth time I was offered the desired character.
As for me, this is the most difficult trophy and you need to pay attention to it first of all at the start of the game.
Fortunately, the prologue can be completed in 8-10 minutes with cutscenes reset, that is, for this trophy, I spent 40 minutes.

I couldn’t find this character for a long time; neither the video nor the tips above helped.
The following way helped: I recruited a “game developer” to the team, then through deep analysis I found the place where he works, arrived at the specified point and there were a lot of thematic characters walking around there, from IT specialists to various types of developers. It was there that I found a “computer game developer.”

For those who knock out the second platinum.
So as not to run around and waste a lot of time searching for the ill-fated computer developer. games for the second time:
load a save where you already have a developer, switch to him, then switch to any other agent. those. you play for another agent, and there is a developer next to you (your agent), go to the team menu, select the developer, change, exclude. rule it out, you immediately run up to him on the street, holding him

, press

- you will re-recruit the developer you just kicked out. the trophy is yours in a minute.

My computer game developer left this door at 21:00, the location is next to the museum, which is in all the videos about searching for developers.
Before this, I also recruited an ordinary developer, I’m not sure that this somehow affects the spawn of the desired character, but still.
Also, pay attention to appearance ; the desired character is usually always shockingly, informally or brightly dressed.
