Games Designer as a dream job?
by The Prince of Cats on Nov.27, 2009, under Interactive Storytelling
If you read this blog, you probably know me and what I do for a living. For the last three years, I have been working on computer games, working my way up from a level designer to a mighty designer and then even specialising somewhat into Narrative Design.
I make games, I live that dream. I even do some writing, so I must be doubly-blessed. I have had the chance to pass on my knowledge of games and writing to students and even to other industry professionals as an expert in my field apparently. What have I to complain about? I even draw a wage, so I have a constant income and a secure future; my manager even mentioned that my job was more secure than his, since a games company can live without middle-management more easily than without designers. The benefits are great too, with company sponsored paint-balling and karting, activity adventures and even paid sick leave if you happen to do something stupid like break your coccyx falling down the stairs.
