Dream Job!
« on: March 10, 2008, 08:46:05 PM »
So what is it?

we already had the japafag dream job listed yesterday of translator+anime so what is yours?

the role doesn't have to be real, obviously "minge taster" though is going a bit far so it has to be relatively possible.

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

Story Line and Character design?  Stick to writing fan-fic.

Story Line and Character Design are not real jobs.

Usenet circa 1995:
"I am looking for people to help me make an RPG. I am looking for programmers, artists, and musicians. I will do story."

If you want to do "storyline and character design," just write a motherfucking book, motherfucker.

:lol That's my issue too. I've pretty much got the job I want, and there's room to move up but people at work know I like what I'm doing so I think they know they can lowball me :( I'm not getting bad money but I've had offers for more money doing stuff I'm not interested in.

The only other things I'd rather be doing is playing basketball for a living or writing scripts for tv/movies/games.

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

I actually like ParticleReality's idea too, especially the zombie game.  I like the idea of clearing out areas and making them livable (with the people you save becoming residents and helping you out as AIs to stop the inevitable zombie incursions).

Just think, it could be a mix of your typical zombie action game with town-building elements as you go into infested areas and bring back stuff your survivors need.

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.

Hmm, instead of just limiting things to securing a house, I think a cool thing would be to try to secure an entire neighborhood and make it livable again, set up barriers, set up a neighborhood watch to protect against incursions, etc.
