prophetik music Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 i think that a writer would be interesting, but i think that D has to be my choice. simply because that's what i really want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otakatt Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 C~ Because I can't do any of that other stuff. :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerrax Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I love coming up with ideas for games but I'm not too specific on details like the art style, the music, etc. I especially like to focus on gameplay, because I think everything else falls into play once you have solid gameplay to base it off of. I And I feel that I've got pretty good communication and leadership skills to be able to lead an entire game team. I'd have to say definitely designer but I wouldn't mind taking on some of the responsibilities of the producer. I think marketing is one of the biggest points game publishers miss big on.

Kanthos Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 B and F. I would mainly want to code, but I wouldn't want to be totally isolated from the design either, just told what to do. Really, unless you're coding to a strict specification, a programmer *is* a designer, and not just from a software architectural perspective.

Tex Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I would go for F) because this is what they are more looking for. But I could do D) or C) if I was needed on these fields as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasfen Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hmm... Nice mix of answers so far. Of course, I thought there would be more musically-inclined folks, but it's great to see the diverse skills of OCRers. Thanks for the posts!

SoulinEther Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Such arbitrary but great questions. a) producer - oversee the creation, progress, and marketing of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 a) Producer / Writer I've always had a fascination with storytelling and making an interesting twisty turning plot with mysterious characters, politics, fighting, etc. But I'd also like to craft my own perfect game from a producer standpoint. Impossible to decide, I don't know if I'd be good at either one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anosou Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Definitely d) composer since that's what I do. Also interested in a) producer if we remove the marketing part... Creative director? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasfen Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Such arbitrary but great questions. Thanks mucho! I always appreciate feedback. Definitely d) composer since that's what I do. Also interested in a) producer if we remove the marketing part... Creative director? I'll take a look at your resume and see what I can do. But seriously, thanks for the votes, folks. I'll total it up tomorrow and hopefully have something new shortly thereafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
