hey you people in the game dev

[Pericolos0]

We can be proud here at mapcore that alot of people are actually working in the professional game dev industry. But what exactly do you do? I know most people do level design related stuff, but i only have a faint idea of what stuff exactly.

So what do you do? Enviroment art? Pure leveldesign? A mixture of this and that etc..?

While my official job title at Ubi is "texture artist" I also do static meshes when needed, unwrap and then texture them. And sometimes I simply sit in my chair and talk to skdr and insta on MSN while drinking some hot chocolate.

Pretty much everything related to typical level design except modelling and texturing. I do a lot of scripting and gameplay design. The artist makes the props/textures and I place them where I need to.

product management.

sigh....level design is better.

My official title is "Intern junior level designer" and so far my work ranges from working together with AI programmers (placing, testing, reviewing, giving feedback aka yelling at them why the stupid AI doesn't do what I want it to do) to general design things, like working out missions with other designers, commenting papers etc.

technically lead level artist but since its a small and relaxed company im not really noticing a lot of the lead element:P

modelling, texturing and most importantly composing and finishing the levels off with light, particles, special stuff etc

not too much gameplay stuff right now

Im going as Background Artist atm, which means doing geometry, props, you know, visual shit. Anyway, that includes doing modelling and textures.

However the plan is that I'll get back to mapping later~

I'd really love to get a job within game dev. some day, well I got quite a few years left so I guess I have time to evolve quite abit

[Schmung]

Yes, you're fairly lucky because you have a good start and the know how and stuff to wrok towards it. Pity the old people like me, who have to force new skills upon thei unwilling brains. Not that I'm actually that old, just feels that way sometimes.

[Pericolos0]

have to say its good to see some of you guys have kinda varied jobs and arnt just stuck to solely creating textures or so ~
