My ideal job coming out of school will be a Level designer for a Video Game studio. I don't care who I work for coming out the gate but I do have some experience making levels for games like Call of Duty and Unreal Tournament so I think it would be best to be involved with a program that I am somewhat familiar with. I would love to work with a group of people where I will mainly focus on laying out the level and coming up with ideas for the level itself. I find myself to be a natural leader so my dream job would be the creative director of a game studio but for know I want to be a part of the team and work together to make one project. I also think that I would like to work for a small to medium sized company so that if I put in hard work I may be noticed making it easier to get a better position at a larger company instead of starting as a nobody.
Your post seems right on to me. I worked with you as much as anyone during this course and I agree that you are a natural leader. Your targeted job also seems like the right approach to begin after graduation.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it would be great to work on something that you really enjoy and know about. I wonder how hard it would be to get on as a Level Designer on such a huge named game. Good luck on your future and in the gaming business!
ReplyDeleteInteresting thoughts on starting out at a smaller company for ease of recogntion and being able to transfer that eventually to a larger company where it might not be so easy to stand out - I like it!
ReplyDeleteYes, but of course it is your content that should be what stands out! If you are innovative and do good work, you should be able to get noticed no matter what position or department you're in.
