currently am a concept artfag

3D modeling, but it probably won't happen.

concept artfag as well.

The only thing I would be able to ever do in the Industry is Testing.

Yeah, that would probably suck, playing My Little Pony all the time.

Product/team manager, something along the lines of that.

>>52887258
Sitting and posting on /v/ it won't

Nah, already have my dream job of working behind the bar at a classy strip club, maybe a daytime games tester would be a nice addition?

Wannabe-programmer here.
2nd course.

Game testan
Developan

Sounds good :3

>>52887258

modelling and animating is like the shittiest job in the industry besides tester, plenty of people around to do it and you have no creative freedom or definitive impact upon the game

Mathematician with emphasis on programming here.

I have no joebs.

Design and implement DRM. You're guaranteed a job forever.

>>52887396
>game tester

>>52887452

>Implying DRM are good
Oh you. =p

I would quite like to write for video games, but i would probably be happy with any media

I want to be a scriptwriter.

In college for animation and game design.


if not the game industry, the movie industry at least.

i just hope i dont have really high standards

>>52887404
>plenty of people around to do it

But few people around to do it well. It's the difference between Blizzard cinematics and Bethesda games.

>>52887533
>i just hope i dont have really high standards

Que?

writer

I'm going for a Bachelor's in CS for this. While working for some lower-rate company, I hope to have a small thing going with a couple of friends and possibly co-workers to eventually become our own studio.

Director I think.
I'd love to get to decide how we're doing a game, if that looks good or not.
Get concept stuff up, how I imagine it should look, get input from my team ect.

Considering im heading down the IT technician route (networking primarily) the best I could hope for in that vein would be getting a techie job at some game company.
Which would be pretty cool, I suppose. Getting to look over their shoulders at the stuff theyre doing, solvan their problems and stuff.
I doubt I will, but itd be nice.

Programmerfag, hopefully not for a product the size of Modern Warfare, as you'd probably get crunched to death

>>52887584
>>52887520

You! Get out of my job role! There's only room for one of us.

>>52887540

To do it well you need experience, experience is not so easily earned when everyone is clamoring for a position.

>>52887404

You're confusing the art team with the programmers.

>>52887664

Self teaching is just out of the question right?

Many of you are better off modding games. Easiest way into the industry.

>>52887573
like, i hope that its not ridiculous for me to EXPECT to be hired by people in either industry

>>52887229
>>52887263
are you guys currently doing this? If so how is it going for you so far?
I would like to do this but it seems so hard to get into and it seems like you won't make much.

Level designer would be kick ass.

I would like to be a lead developer of my own company.

>>52887769

It kind of is. You have to work your ass off for that first job because everyone else is trying to get it too, and to get it you have to be better than of all of them without knowing how good they are.

Think of it like the honor rank grind in vanilla WoW, only hopefully it's something you actually enjoy doing.

> implying working in the gaming industry isn't complete shit

I want to work at Activision. I heard there are some job openings there for lead developer.

Already there.

>>52888227

Oh you.

I WANT TO BE THE GUY THAT DRAWS THE PICTURES LOOK I MADE ONE NOW FOR A NEW GAME I CALL HIM WREX CUZ HE WRECKS STUFF

Video game tester.

I want to work for a prop company and make the guns and armor and stuff for a movie of a game
failing that, I want to design toys (i.e. game merchandising) to make them look right (FUCK YOU JAKKS PACIFIC AND YOUR CHUNKY AS FUCK POKEDEXES, TIGER WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DID IT RIGHT)

Use to work at ArenaNet on Guild Wars, then on IMVU.

Video game industry is shit, so I left it.

I'm starting a vidya company with some friends... I hope we do good

Either concept art or testing, both god tier jobs :3

>>52889097

> god tier jobs
> low salary
> boring as fuck

high school child detected

Im surprised how few people mention programming,
whats the matter /v/? Too maths + physics for you?

1st year compsci here, hoping to get an internship at rare or lionhead next year over the summer.

>>52889152

> low salary

So? Just cause you want to be a mindless wage slave who works for good money but works a shitty job he hates doesn't mean everyone is like you.

> boring as fuck

Playing vidya all day or drawing boring? really lol?

>>52889226
I'm a programmer in a small group of people dedicated creating games, shit's kinda cash

audio engineering.
shit sucks. I need to get a job working on a movie.

3d visual art

>>52889097
>testing

I did that for sega and it is awful, the pay isn't great, it's really boring and if you were interested in playing the game it'll be ruined for you (thank god it was sega). Only good points are you get your name put in the credits and the bros were actually kinda cool instead of the fat basement dwellers I expected.

>>52889226
>Too maths + physics for you?

Yes. You have a problem with that?

>>52889290

> implying all high paying jobs are unfun

>>52889290

Except that working in testing is utter wank. You have to run the same area of the game dozens of time with different variables to look for bugs. More so if it happens to be some shitty sandbox game like Fallout 3.

Concept art is better as long as you don't have some elitist prick incharge who constantly isn't happy with what you are creating and forces you redraw and redraw and redraw and redraw.

You guys aren't going to make anything original, so why even bother?

lol I remember thinking I wanted to be a games designer or programmer when I was a high school senior. I'm really glad I outgrew that phase and learned how shitty that industry is.

i want to be a concept artist for games like rapelay

i gonna go to school for game design soon. level design specifically has always fascinated me.
I also wrote down an idea for a game a few years ago

Character Illustrator. Unfortunately I draw animu, but I don't think anyone would care (Bandai)

>>52889226
More like too much work for too little pay.

>>52889540

You will if you decide not to go into a huge development studio and make join a small indie games company making little arcade games, but then aain you have no income protection and you'll never be invlolved in a AAA game.

I want to some day buy out NeoGAF and get rid of the elitism.

>>52889290
You don't honestly believe you are gonna be playing vidya all day right?

>>52889226

If you're a competent programmer, the gaming industry is the last place you'll want to waste your talents.

>>52889752

give him a break, all he knows about the gaming industry he learned from /v/ and graphics tightening commercials.

>>52889752
>>52889485
>>52889469

Wow. i say what i want to pursue for my dreams and you fucking fags cant do anything but talk shit. its okay though, when im actually having FUN WORKING and youre all working some shitty 9-5 job just to pay the bills then we'll see whose laughing :3

>artists complaining about their job
>there are two audio engineers on my very large team
>haven't been to my apartment in two weeks

>>52889772

I enjoy the whole problem solving through programming thing but i get the feeling the only other route for a programmer is corperate banking stuff, so I'd rather enjoy the work im doing than be programming accounts and stock systems in a grey suit all my life.

Does wanting to be a voice actor count?

I want to be part of the localization team.

>>52890016

Technically, but you may get asked to do some voice work in movies or something.
