If you could work for any Game company, which would it be and what would you do?

[lilnorris64]

or CEO of activision, so i could make loads of money whilst destroying all my competitors in the shovelware department to start my offworld mining camp.

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

I would like Bethesda, Double Fine or Epic, just making ideas and letting the other guys bring them to life.

 

[LilGherkin]

Insomniac games, they got me hooked with Resistance. I'd be the Janitor or game tester because I know I can't do any of the technical stuff.

 

[Sev72]

Hmmm.... I'd work for CCP as a new content developer for EVE Online.

 

[DrDeath3191]

Creative Director at... well, anywhere I suppose.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Bethesda. I'd be responsible for the magic system...

 

[ElephantGuts]

I'd work for Relic and hold the entire company hostage until they put out the next damn Company of Heroes game.

 

[Anarchy In Detroit]

I'd work just about anywhere doing animation if I could. Or any graphical job really. If you can draw all you've gotta do is learn your programs.

I'd want to start at the absolute bottom of the barrel too. Working up is how you truly learn the right way.

 

[ThisNewGuy]

Probably Sony Santa Monica Studio as...owner.

 

[VitalSigns]

Microsoft as a producer = Ching Ching.

but if I wanted to use my talents i'd probably be a writer for whoever, maybe Silicon Knights cause there from my home town.

 

[Jupsto]

hmmm probably starvault helping design game

but for a company you've heard of how about bethesda working on game design for TES:5

 

[Birras]

I would open up a muffin kiosk in the center of Valve studios, while at the same time acting as a mentor figure to the people I sell muffins to.

 

[Gyrefalcon]

I would work for team Ico because I would know what their next game would be.

I think they should hire you!

 

[War Penguin]

Nintendo because I'd make a shit load of money. That, and I'd tell them to get off there ass and start making GAMES!

 

[Scrythe]

THQ, so I can open their eyes to the fact that after five campaigns, we are all sick and fucking tired of playing as Blood Ravens.

 

[Trivun]

Ooooh, I actually do want to work as a games developer, I'm doing a Maths degree simply for that purpose. But yeah, I want to specifically go into Level Design, though any other design job would be acceptable too. As for developer, Rockstar have a base in Leeds, which is where I want to live and work, as do several other smaller companies. Bungie would be great because I'd love to work on Halo projects, and THQ would be good too. Lionhead wouldn't be too bad, though I'd have to work extra hard to try and get as close as possible to Peter Molyneux's dreams (though having him as a boss would be pretty cool, he seems like a decent, if overimaginitive, guy).

If level design is your thing, then why are you doing a maths degree? Arts/architecture, with some programming on the side, would be much closer to what you need.

Maths is actually good for any part of the industry, and with things like Halo Custom Edition and map builder tools and mods for other games, notably Dawn of War, I already have some level design experience. Plus the experience in that area gained from my own games...

Anyway, the gaming industry is also crying out for Mathematicians, that's what I was told when I started my degree, so I also have good footing too to get into the industry anyway with a Maths degree.
