well it supposed to be lol Well my first questions is have you ever made an MMORPG? I have, thankfully, not worked on an mmo. I have lot of friends who have though. WoW, Wildstar, Eldescrolls online. I've always tried to work with smaller developers because I don't enjoy the corporate "cog in a machine" vibe of big studios. |

cool I wanted to know cause I wanted to know the atmosphere. so on my other post with my "skills" how likely could I get a game making job... (be honest but leave the brutal part out of it please) I already don't think I can work in the gaming industry.
so to reiterate
I can write(kinda, only scrips and scenarios)
I can do concept art
character moves and mechanics (I have no idea if this is a thing)

(be honest but leave the brutal part out of it please) I already don't think I can work in the gaming industry. so to reiterate I can write(kinda, only scrips and scenarios) I can do concept art character moves and mechanics (I have no idea if this is a thing) So you've got three different positions listed there. Writing, Art and Design. My first suggestion, if you really want to get into games is to focus your skills. Pick one avenue you are most interested in and pursue that. You want to have very strong skills in one department, you definitely won't be able to do it all. Writing - There's generally 2 areas writers find work in games. Lore and mission/quest design. Either one will most likely require an english or history degree and I would rank these jobs as "rare" because they don't necessarily require and game knowledge, thus there's more potential candidates. Concet Art - Probably the most sought after position in game art. Everyone wants to do it so there's a TON of competition. There is a wide range of potential positions so it's not impossible to get in, but you need some serious talent to excel long term. This is a guy I went to school with who's been successful as a concept artist artofty.deviantart.com/gallery/ That's the level of illustration skill studios are looking for. Game Design - Character abilities, game mechanics, stat tuning, etc. all falls under under the design umbrella. Each studio does it differently, but generally there's quite a few designers needed for any given project. This is definitely the easiest area, besides maybe environment art to get an entry level position for. |

Nothung kinda sucked. I wouldn't recommend it for any of the three Castlevania games it appeared in.
...wait, you said nothing, not Nothung. My bad.

I really like Scattered Funeral Petals. It would make for a great evasion move, and I could see myself using it, reversing direction, and then using it again over and over while laughing. |

Design is not programming, so you won't need to know code. Having experience and knowledge of scripting is a huge plus, but not required... design positions vary greatly from studio to studio. It sounds like you are looking for a "game design" position where you get to come up with abilities and moment to moment gameplay elements, but not necessarily implement them. If you're serious about it then you need to be practicing. Get something like Unity and start learning the in's and outs. Part of being a designer is understanding limitations of not only the platform you're working on, but the scope of the project and how it affects other departments. Anyone can sit down and think up crazy awesome over the top spells and abilities, but what's important is knowing how those things actually get made and keeping your designs feasible within the constraints of a project. |

In relation to something: Shovel Knight is actually a pretty fun game. Wonder how he'll appear Bloodstained. In relation to nothing:  |
