To people in the video game industry: What do you at for a potential employee?
First off, I want to work in making video games, I love them to pieces. I've gotten the occasional bad grades for them, I've had lack of sleep from the, and have gotten a damaged nerve in my right thumb because of them. I'm just curious from any people within the video game industry as to what they look for in a potential employee. Such as: Education- What schools look well on an employee It sounds kinda rasicts I know, but is there any specific shool that someone has to be from to look well...Or is it all just skill? How you apply what you learned to what you're doing? Which I think it's true...I mean, there are some people out there who graduate with "great" majors, but then they don't do nothing. Either not looking for work, or not trying hard enough to find it. In other words, not using the knowledge they gained. I'm sorry, that's just my opinion, moving on. Skills- What should someone know when going into the game industry. For example, I want to be a Video Game Designer. They do (from what my High School Advantage teacher at Broadview says, and he's been in the industry 15 yrs) pretty much a bit of everything. Programming, art, animation, etc. What I was getting at is, what if you're really good at art, but kinda lack skills in programming? Do you not hire them or overlook it and assign them to something. Because, large companies usually have 5 designers working on different things. Also, and this is obvious, what do you look for in a person. Well, please and thank you's.
