hey guys, im 14 and from the capital.
im torn between doing law, doing medicne, becoming a paramedic, or becoming a games designer.
im in 3rd year, and i love my PC, i love COD, COD:UO, Americas Army, CSS,
Half life 1 & 2, and im looking froward to the release of “the movies”.
i know that im kinda young to be decidin my future, but i like to have things prepaired im not that impulsive.
ive been thinkin bout games design for a while and grownig up in a very IT efficint background, my uncle works in some PC plant, and 2 of my older mates are doing some PC course, i know loads about pc’s.
any advice? -

That’s called the American Dream. :wink:
Game design is tough going. You’ll have to detail every aspect of the game and how everything works. You’ll be working with the art and programming teams every day to sort out problems and whatnot. Some days you’ll be doing long hours and having little social time. It’s fantastic if you love the job, but if it’s not for you then run for the hills. Find out all you can and stay positive. It’s better than most jobs you’ll find.
Have a read of the Tom Sloper articles I showed you. He talks about how teens view the role of game designer; sitting around all day playing Half-Life while whipping the programmers to make them work faster. :twisted:

I have the glorious title of ‘just another student’. :wink: -
lol, what bit on that website should i read?
-
Pretty much all of it. There’s no hurry so just find an article title that interests you and have a read through. I read it a couple of years back and that’s how I learnt some important lessons about the industry. If you’re interested in it then you’ll just find yourself absorbing all the articles with intrigue.
Lesson 14 talks about the role of game designer. Why not start there?
Good luck. :)
