a favorite game, not really, more like favorite parts in different games
(e.g. gameplay mechanic of assassins creed(moving/ combat) or the story line of Mass effect, the pvp gamplay mechanics of terra online, puzzles of portal,...)
hard to choose 1 game, there are to many of them

Hello and welcome to the Science Forum!

In what aspect of game development do you want to work? I was an object and environment modeller. I dabbled in texturing, but it was not my forte. Programming is my bane.

definitely programming , i have been doing it for about 7 years now, started programmin on my calculator xD creating games during class
love to create/recreate algorithms (E.g. AI, pseudorandom level generator, etc),
searching for that piece of code to create an awesome button

my models and textures aren't bad, but i need a lot more practice to speed up the process
preproduction is my bane, the final's paints are ok, but how i get to it takes to much time and way to much coffee xD

Definitely get a well-rounded repertoire, but stick to your strength and specialize. Unless you get into being a project lead, you'll just be working in one area. I did nothing but build models for a while. I never even got to input on the textures. I had a buddy who was JUST a cloth modeler. He only worked in realistic fabrics. Talk about tedious.

Aloha and from the French or Flemish part of Belgium!

We had a Belgium exchange student that I still keep in contact with and have actually visited her. She became part of our family!

WELCOME!

I built props and worked a spot in theater in high school. Always wanted to be on stage (I can actually sing pretty well), but I never had the guts to do it or the ego to drive me.

I think stand up comics might have the scariest job in the world. Forget coal mining or the guy who changes the light bulb on the top of a skyscraper, being funny on command in front of 200 drunks is where it's at.

I have found props, built and painted sets, run lights, been a runner when the theatre called me in desperation, been the lead in so many shows I can't even begin, but preferred character parts because your imagination has to run triple time. I can sing in a house of 300 without a microphone if my accompaniment , is a light 3 piece (piano, guitar, violin) trio.

Stand up comedy is brutal.

So is a one man/woman show.

Nothing in the arts is easy......nor can I, personally ever stop striving to be so much better.
