Video Game programmer Its harder than it looks Robert Tedeschi Hour 4 2/4/13
introduction Have you ever wanted to make your own video game? Well that’s what this career is about. First you have to study programming languages. Programming languages are artificial languages that are used to make a computer or other electronic device perform a function. I got interested in this career when I was a little kid, I played skateboarding games and I always wondered how they made the game work. And now I recently watched the movie “indie game”. The movie is about how hard it is to make a game and it follows the makers of three popular indie games when they were programming them.
responsibility • Programming • Graphics • Advertisement • Due date • Funding
Work envirement Your work environment is your house you can do all the programming and graphics from your home computer. The hours are all up to you but you can not be lazy. This is physical and mental work you can get stressed and think to yourself that you will never finish and go crazy and ruin a good idea. It is physical because you have to put yourself out there, you have to advertise and get a booth at video game conventions and tell people about your game and why they should buy it.
Training The only training you need is to understand basic programming languages. I am going to IADT, International Academy of Design and Technology. There is one in Detroit but I am not sure I want to go there I want to go to the one with the best education.
Employment rate There really is not an employment rate if you are making your own game. There is no place you need to be to make the game because it is all done on a computer. But there is traveling, you would need to go to gaming conventions so you know what is popular and maybe even be at the convention advertising your game.
Lifestyle goals My lifestyle goals are to have a house in a kind of country area where all the houses are spread out and have a lot of property for hunting and riding four wheelers. it would perfect because I can do almost all my work from my house. Average earnings depend on how popular your game gets.
Back up career My back up career would be a photographer. I really like to take pictures and record videos of bikers and skateboarders. The responsibilities of a photographer is to capture amazing images.
Feelings I cant wait until 10th grade because I am taking a class that teaches programming and at the end of the year I get to make my own game and put it on the internet to play and if it gets popular enough I get to put it on the xbox live marketplace. My favorite part of this career is that I do not have to wake up early in the morning.
