It's a job that most of us, I assume, have dreamed of doing.
Whilst I've never worked in this terrific industry, in the back of my mind, I've always felt that my creative side is laced with a powerful desire make a mark in this glorious sphere. Have to add though, I have almost no programming skills! Even so, just being involved in a simple art project must be hugely rewarding for the heart and soul. That's why, I'm seriously pondering to propose something to the 'Attention Content Contributors' thread ... maybe a boss character.
Anyway, my interests and strengths are monsters. This is the area that I'd love to be involved in. Without being boastful, I have an impressive portfolio of fine drawings & rough sketches and a file of digital artwork of all kinds of weird entities. Some look ominously creepy, others downright horrific and a few with a streak of 'cute' somewhere in their design. I have what I call my 'elite' folder which is a limited selection of my favourite monsters created to the best of my artistic ability and twisted imagination ... these however, may never see the light of day unless I slap a proper copyright on them.
So, if you worked in gaming, what area would you pay particular attention to or specialize in?

Networking... As in schmoozing with people and getting to know everyone. Its a super clique industry. Dont bother with it unless you have a friend in it.

I'd like to be the Verbal Kint of the gaming industry, making up stories as I go...
...and like that! *puff of smoke*
No, but seriously... I think I would like to function as a Nintendo style creative fellow. If I'd be any good at my job is a totally different matter.

oh I misunderstood. I thought you were asking for advice for what you should focus on from people who have a little bit of knowledge regarding the industry.
Me personally? I'd like to be the guy that works with Enemy AI, and/or the dude who makes up the #s like how much damage so and so move does, stats on equipment, enemies, prices in shops, etc. AI is obviously programmer territory, and the others should be designer, but there are many designers that can't be bothered and just tell someone to 'just do it', but will step in later on and just make generalizations like 'footmen need to be stronger, tanks need to be cheaper, etc". lazy ass designers, grr..
Making instruction manuals also used to be a job for designers, but they squirmed their way into making those obsolete for the most part too. double grr.
Not saying all game designers are lazy or useless, but I've seen enough to know it's not a rare occurrence.

Because I am not good at programming or art, I want to be the guy who tells people what to do, either makes sure everything is on schedule or needs more time/attention to fix, and ultimately decides who lives and who dies based on their work performance.

I'd probably be a good writer. The most I've ever written in a single day was around 10,000 words, so I think I could keep up with even tight deadlines.

I figured I'd pick a role that would play towards my strengths, personality type, and desire be paid to pass judgment on others in a manner similar to Santa and Krampus. |
