Question of the Day, October 29, 2010



Screenwriters, programmers, voice actors - there's plenty of ways to contribute to the creation of a videogame. If you had your choice, what would be your role in a large game development company?

Journalist would be interesting I think.

Other, I'd like to be the guy who helps to write up world that the game is going to take place in.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Oh, I'd love to do voice work.

I'd be pretty good at it, too, I think.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

Programmer or Game Designer.

I really want to get my A levels out of the way so I can focus on something a little more in depth.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Writer or Journalist. I love to write.

Calumon: I dunno, how much cake do journa...things get?

 

[WrongSprite]

Wow, multivote? That's new. OT: I think I'd prefer trying to think up of new games myself.

 

[Sensate]

Game design.
I'm stuck with level designing for too long. It's time to move forward. Or leave industry at all.

 

[tharglet]

If I were to work in the videogame industry I'd be a programmer.

But I'm not aiming for the videogame industry

 

[ultimateownage]

Programmer, definitely. I love working with the technical side of things.

 

[Owlslayer]

Wait, i could vote for several ones? Damn...
Anyways, tough I'm no actor neither do i have a great voice, still, something about voice acting intrigues me. I'd love to give it a try.

 

[Ldude893]

I prefer being in the design department.

 

[Quad08]

Even though I'm not very good at it, given the chance I would jump into voice acting

Writer would be my first go-to option. I already write a lot of campaign settings for my tabletop RP group whether it's AD&D, Call of Cthulhu, Paranoia, Star Wars etc so I reckon it's the logical choice. Story-boarding a game level seems (to an outsider) pretty similar to creating and scripting a tabletop encounter.

 

[AngryMongoose]

Programmer or Game Designer.

A level computing is lame. Most unis don't even care whether or not you took it to do a computer science degree,

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I would only ever consider writing. I can't say I have any interest in working in the industry though.

 

[Rakkana]

I'm currently going for programmer.

 

[Marter]

Voice actor or writer.

T'would be fun, although I'd rather work with movies.

 

[soren7550]

I don't know. There's several I'd like to dip my toe into, but I don't know which one I'd want to dive into. Voice acting, writing and design sound pretty good.

 

[Lordmarkus]

Writer or Journalist. I love to write.

Yay! A soulmate!

OT: Besides just being paid for writing cheesy storylines, desinger or artist would do too. I'm all about the creative things.
