I revel in the fact that I dont actually HAVE to work (child labour is banned :P) heheh... Im 13 and I am currently developing a game similar to the cell stage in Spore (the commercial video game by EA Games i think). when i grow up, i want to be an indie game dev cos theyre awesome :D
Numsgil:
Yes, being 13 would make it difficult to get a job :P
Indie developers are kind of "in" right now, but I definitely like working with big name games. You're only touching a very small piece of the overall game, but you have the man power to solve some really specific problems an indie developer would just have to live with.
SlyStalker:
the thing i like about indies is that they can do what they want and that generates a lot of creativity. it also means that you dont have to kiss coporate ass all the time :D
Numsgil:
You'd be surprised how little ass kissing you have to do in the game industry. Most people in it are there because they have a passion for games, and programmers at least are known for being a little blunt. I work in genes and a t-shirt, for instance. You don't always get to work on the game you want to make, but everyone on a team usually has some impact on the creative direction of the game. Except for testers. That's a rough job.
SlyStalker:
but im still holding my ground on the creativity issue :happy:
