I wish I had one. It would give me direction. Right now I'm just aimless....

Story Line and Character design? Stick to writing fan-fic.
Didn't we all wanted to be a game developer at some point? ::)And some of us are.

Cajole do your thing dude.

:lol Still funny.
Alright, maybe I thought about being a game developer/designer at one point, but like everything else, I quickly realized that I would never be one.
No I've started at 8 in the morning, and left at noon the next day.
Some people are living the dream. Himuro's studying game design, I think.Living the dream :rock

You forgot the :rock
You work so much you create rifts in the space-time continuum?
In all honesty, I'm really happy with my current job. If teaching actually paid a decently, I would have no internal conflicts about a future career.

Teaching does pay decently. In Canada, anyway.
I actually have my dream job
This is somewhat unfortunate as it means whenever I complain about work I have to realize there's nothing out there I'd rather be doing
I have lost the moral high ground
I have two IM client screen names for you to message me on!
Then I had another idea about a Dead Rising like game but it being based in a neighborhood kind of like mine. The main goal would be making sure you had food, water, and that your house was well protected. from there you could go out and try to rescue people and start thing the numbers of the zombies so you could do things like surround the front of your house with cars making it harder for them to get to you.
I'd also address the issue of free save vs. go back to your home and save by allowing you to go into any house, clear it out and secure it enough so you could save.
i actually like this idea
both of them

y/n?
The zombie idea has been pitched for years. The game is called "I Am Legend" and I forget who owns the rights. Music based anything is awesome, just a fucking impossible sell.
i don't own the rights. :'(
Yeah, this sounds awesome. :hyper
Make this game, PR.
It's the fist thing I want to do after I finish college. Even if I have to build it on some old ass engine until it gets picked up, I'm going to make it. AND, unlike those in the industry today, I have no plans on promising things I can't deliver on.

Bonus: I'd get to live in Canada.
Like books, ideas are cheap. Everybody has ideas. Everybody "could" write a novel, just as soon as they "have the time." What separates the doers from the dreamers is that the doers put their money where their mouth is, and the dreamers wonder why nobody will give them a 50 person team, 2 years, and $30 million dollars. They have this great idea!
.... and the first game would definitely be "Minge Shaver DS"
you don't need to know C++ unless you want to be a programmer
if you want to be a designer, you need to know high-level scripting (LUA, UnrealScript, Neverwinter Nights, hell ,make a ZZT module)

Wait, why would a designer need to know scripting?
If you want to make FPSes, Source engine or Unreal
If you want to make RPGs, Neverwinter Nights 2
Source engine? Really? Isn't it like super fucking hard to do something as small as a floor?
I think I might want to learn C++ and such because it could always be useful. I'd like to focus on the more creative stuff be it could come in handy to do alot of the grunt work in programming.Hah, I thought the same thing until I took a C++ class in 9th grade. Amazingly boring, and I spend a disproportionate amount of time on computers. It might be fun as a hobby or something but I couldn't imagine doing it as a career.
i've actually given this some thought and i think i may want to be a journalist
not a games, music or movie journalist
but someone who writes for newspapers
Op-ed writing. But niche op-ed. Not sure who'd read the shit I'd be interested in writing about, really. :P
Also, working with children in some capacity. I'd love to work in or run a day care center; I love being around kids. Unfortunately, I'll need to put food on the table for my future family someday, so neither of these are viable career choices.
Op-ed writing = "I'd like to be a dilettante who barely works, but gets to tell everyone why they're wrong about everything."
Also, never put an elevator in your game
I'm going to make a game where everything is a door or elevator.
Ive done it! Ive made my first, very basic Half Life 2 map. Took me forever to get hammer running, turns out I have to do it in EP1. Tomorrow I'm going totrydo something bigger and learn how to have multiple textures on walls and shit.
If anyone wants to humor me and play my first map, I'll give a link to download it.
