Communication Job's in Gaming

If you originally thought you had to be a drawing genius to go into gaming, you’re wrong. Here is some jobs that you might want to look into if you’re interested. Video Game Designer - The video game designer thinks of the original concept of the video game. Say you have this great idea about farm animals in space that you and your friends think should be a video game. Your role would be being the boss of the entire operation. Every single part of the video game process would come through you. Like you would see the characters dialogue and pictures of the evil cow and brave pig, make sure the environment looks like space, look at all the puzzles and play the game a million times. Sure this may sound like fun but after the sixth time through the whole game you would want to become vegetarian. Audio Engineer - Audio Engineers are basically sound technicians. You would work with the voice actors, background music, and the different types of noise you might need in that particular world. You also take care of and set up the equipment that Ernie, the annoying and helpful side kick, would use. Writer - writing jobs include dialogue, story settings, and instructions. For the technical writer you have to have a degree in that particular area. This job would be to say the Jerry, the flying talking pig, has to cut into the moon for the cheese. However Sam, the evil purple cow wants it all for himself. How would you picture them speaking to each other? What would the environment look like? Do they have any defining characteristics, like does Sam have a lisp? Translator - If you are fluent in a specific language or languages, especially Japanese and Chinese, you will do well here. This is all about translating the dialogue and storyline that the writers has been already written. So you get to change Jerry saying,"Something stinks more than Gouda cheese" into any language you need. It is needed because most games reach into all types of countries and languages. Jerry says,"Algo apesta más que el queso del gueta.” You can find many interesting gaming jobs by going on job search sites so you can see what is out there as well as some of the in depth requirements.
