ok...so ive wanted to be a news board cast journlist for a few years now...but talking with my boyfriend ive realized...i want to be a Video Game Story/Character Designer....but i dont want to be the guy whos making the acutual game...like a programer what should i do? disscus (i dont know if its in the right spot...but whatever)
Oh, I'm accually in the perfect course for that, Games Design and Animation. Although it's very rare where I live, but if your in work already you should see if you can do that adult learning courses at a college/uni.
I think that being a news board cast journalist would be easy, but not fun. If you have a job that you enjoy, it's not a job anymore. What area of game production do you want to get into?
All I can say is do what's best for you. If you want to make games, then I suggest you do it, or would it make you a little manly.I think a Journalist would be better.(well in my case)
Try to figure out what your strengths and weaknesses. If your bad at math, you shouldn't be a programmer becuase it involves alot of coding and numbers, etc. I originally wanted to go into game design and write the story or whatever, but I realized that there wasn't the type of position I wanted, so I decided that I want to become an author because I'm pretty good at writing and I just need to gain the mastery of the language in order to become the sort of author I want. So, just try to find what your good at, and if you enjoy what you're good at, then do it.
im terrible at math...ugh but i wanna be kinda like a Tetsuya Nomura where im the guy thinking up the storys and thinking up game ideas and such...not the guy thats actually making them
Very few schools actually offer programs for game design. I know that there's a school in Texas and one in Maryland that offers game design classes, but I don't know of many others. actually, most of today's game legends stumbled into the business. They never took classes for making games.
Sorry i didn't reply sooner noise.I think that you should like a concept artist for games.You should do a course in a collage to do with programming computer games first.The second i finish i'm seeing if square enix has a post free on the mingdom hearts projects.Imagine it.
