Author Topic: What do you aspire to be?  (Read 2565 times)

either a game developer (i have little past experience) or a game reviewer
Being a reviewer is probably harder than being a developer. The pay isn't great, you're more of a target for Internet Trolls and starfishs, people hate you if you dare become friends with any developers (with that said, do make sure you make those relationships public and step away from reviewing their games in case of bias) and a lot of the time your voice is crushed under the many other, louder voices.

As for being a game dev; all you really need to do is just start making stuff, and eventually come up with your own unique, wacky ideas. Do some basic tutorials for free engines to learn the early concepts. Choose a speciality and stick with it; programmers and artists are hired frequently and get better paid jobs and better job security, so they're the fields I recommend.

being a game dev is a bit harder to set up, it takes time to complete your first project but in the end it pays better: a game reviewer has a bit of an easier job

Unless you're working for an actual company, being a game dev will pay as much as you sell your game for if it gets sold.

Robotics engineer.

Video game developer or PC game developer.

Systems Admin...

Ever since I took my computer science class in high school, I wanted to be one.

I aspire to become a Computer Hardware engineer, or something related to computers work at Valve with glorious Gaben. Hell, I would do even IT. I hear they have great working conditions, much better than any other game company. Also their snack room is gr8 m8.

and i get a sneak peeek at episode 3

Game developer is what I aspire to be, but I know it's not something that's going to work out because of my particular skillset or lack thereof, so I'd probably just hope for a solid day job that gives me enough time to do what i want in off-hours.


ultimately i want to be a game developer, but most likely i'll be a website designer or some it tech.


I aspire to be a fun person.

i've always kind of wanted to be an animator
