Gamegod worden

Als je ervan droomt om game leveldesigner te worden, lees dan eerst Trying Your Hand at Level Design? op Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters. Wat citaten uit de reacties. You end up working long hours on a game that will be released when you know it's only half done, only to be laid off the week after the game ships. Yeah, except people don't realize that being a game programmer is pretty much the same as being a word processor programmer.. you quickly realize there are more Major League Baseball players than there are people working on the creative side of game design.... Translation: you had better be fscking INCREDIBLE and even then, be prepared to be an intern and move across the country or to a different country (say, Canada) to do so...and you'd better be able to do more than just edit levels. You'd better be a god. If you are willing to sell your life for free Coke, foosball and Boston Market for dinner every night, go for it. Op IGDA - International Game Developers Association en Gamasutra - The Art & Science of Making Games vind je nog meer carriereadviezen.
