Author Topic: Blocklanders and their current/future careers  (Read 6852 times)

i'm an indie gamedev who has gone in and out of a bunch of projects and right now i'm working on a big dumb twin stick shooter with a bunch of my friends from high school

outside of that, sometimes i'm a freelance all-purpose sprite artist, and want to get into writing but havent found the right game to stretch my legs in

Trying to get an SO contract with the Navy

Started out my teens as a young actor, did some stuff on tv, nothing too major. A few years ago after I came back from three months in Malawi, designing and building orphanages/schools/libraries I decided I wanted to do game design, however, I came out of college with no decent qualifications as I just forgeted around, so I managed to get into a university in cambridge which was pretty stuffty. Just finished my first year there, where I got a first (A*) for the game I created. I realised I didn't like university at all, Cambridge is also a really stuffty town, so I checked out other universities, sent my portfolio of design work to the course leader at Bournemouth (a really good university) and they sent me an unconditional offer to their uni. In two weeks I'll be heading down to the university (Which is really really close to the beach)

So yeah, Blockland pretty much showed me what I want to do in life.

I'm studying CS with a focus on embedded systems.

Blockland got me started and it's still a fun hobby.


I'm planning to be an astronomer, it's like my destiny or something because I loved space since I was 4, and I still do.

Right now I don't really know what future careers I would take.

Currently I learned HTML and CSS. Probaly I will do .js for website soon.

I'm still thinking of what I should do in the future.

well i want to be a game dev, but if that doesn't work i can always do web design

im gonna be a NASA engineer (long shot), an architect, or if all else fails, join the marines.

preferably studying computer science and maybe computer networking.

second option would be an engineer/writer

i would totally be a graphic artist but i just.. don't have the skill. technical skill - yes - but that "arty" skill? not a lick.

i'm currently a student (grade 12) and hoping to go into network administration and design for post secondary

when i grow up im going to be obama

currently unemployed but i want to get into meteorology and forecasting

i want to study music in college

I currently plan on getting into Mechanical Engineering because I like that stuff. I'm still not sure if any type of game design meets my interest, but I could do that stuff on the side as a hobby.
