    i already designed UI of softwares used in aerospace industry, built apps and websites. Im passionate about games, been a PC gamer for more than a decade, but I havent had an opportunity to enter the game industry. I once blew an interview when I said videogames have the best User Interface, turns out this particular corporate HR thinks videogames are vice and for kids, they are so clueless how big gaming industry is.

    I went to college for game design. Bachelors degree is utterly useless and everyone who went to that school left unable to get a job in the game industry. School is not defunct, because for profit colleges are all scams. Because we didn’t do coding at that school, we couldn’t even pool what we knew as a group to make an indy studio after graduating. Good times. One girl we went to school with did get a job at Neverrealm, but that’s because she didn’t need to go to school. She was an outstanding artists before coming to school and could have gotten a job off the street for concept art work, so if you want to get in the industry, you better be the top .01% of good at something, otherwise, enjoy working retail while paying off $100,000 in debt.

    Question: if you have concepts for video games, but don’t know how to code and aren’t in the industry at all, what can you do make this game come to life?

    For someone like me who is older, like Cory, and has always been a massive reader/world escaper/interested in writing stories, this is a really helpful video about how to get into this fascinating business.

    I’ve only been gaming full-on for a year (I mean basically 24/7) since I was made redundant from my job. I feel that I’m at a crossroad in my life and can use this time to make a massive change in direction in my career. I’ve always read a lot, and bought myself ‘Morrowind’ as I had the time (between job-hunting) to finally be able to play. Well, I completely fell in love with gaming and enjoy (like with books) that escapism, leaving my problems behind and being someone else in another world and having adventures. When I enter a game world it feels like coming home.

    I can’t draw, or code, but to get into the narrative side of the industry would be fantastic; to create the questlines, dialogue and story arc. I’m going to do more research on this today and try very hard to stop being afraid to make that leap.

    Half of the panel is such a bullshit….

  20. Pantz on October 31, 2019 at 6:23 pm

    I’m interested in games and have a lot of ideas for games, but I just don’t have the intense passion and ambition that’s required to get into the gaming industry. It really sucks because I think I’ve got a lot to offer in terms of game concepts, characters and story development.
