My Day Job Making Computer Games
Some of you might have been wondering what I do for a day job. Am I Superhero? A ninja? A pirate? A spy? A super hero ninja pirate spy? Well I can finally reveal what I have been doing to pay the rent for the last few months because my latest project has been announced:
I’m a designer on the Killzone computer game franchise. That’s right, I get to play computer games and call it research. My day job involves making computer games.
Anita – You just made my day with that comment. Hehehe. Amanda can confirm that all my stories are true.
Heather – Very true.
Meta, Wezz6400, Dave Hampton – A lot of my job involves level design. I get design the layout of the level, the story behind them and the event that happen with in them. My whole focus is on gameplay and making it fun. Then I work with an artist to make the level look pretty. I’m not just limited to level either. I design a gameplay mechanics and features as well, what you can do as a play and things like that. Then I have to organise everything and make sure the level comes together as it should.
And they pay you?? What is the world coming to…;-)
