Say
you do the standard - get a degree from a university, and do
extra-cirricular work related to your speciality (code games, write
design docs, have a art portfolio). Now you have to not only translate
it, but make it relevant to the Japanese video game industry.
I
had colleagues that had spent many years working for Square-Enix,
Nintendo & Namco Bandai who were happy to work on a shitty project
in Australia, just because they were frustrated at their lack of
progress in Japan. You run the risk of not being taken seriously, in
the same way many gaijin struggle to be considered anything other than
that foreign dude.
You might luck out - getting work in the translation dept, but prepare to apply anywhere and everywhere.
Oh,
and prepare to work on shit projects. Everyone wants in on the games
business, everyone has an idea and very few of them are capable enough
to execute that. |
