11/01/13 – So you Want to Work in Video Games Part II Goes Live
Part II of Hardcore Droid’s ongoing series, in which game developers and game journalists describe how they got their foot in the door of the games industry, how they got the rest of the way inside and how you can do it too, posts. This iteration features two articles by indie RPG masters. The first article, The Indie Road, written by developer, Andrew Trese tells the story of how he and brother, Cory, broke into the game dev’s business, how they maintain and also offers a wealth of prize advice to game industry hopefuls. Then we have, A Brief History of Valorware, a piece written by the very young and very talented Charles Cross, developer of the spectacular old school RPG, 9th Dawn. Then, game journalist, Joe Matar offers up a smart and funny article, How to Write Game Reviews or Sounding Smart in a Stupid Medium on how to, of all things, write a game review; and finally, Meg Stivison’s sharp and insightful Becoming a Game Reviewer discusses why games journalism noobs should evolve from game blogger to game reviewer. If you’ve ever remotely considered a career in video games, you can’t miss these articles, but you have to read them too, if you’re simply fond of a good story. You can check out the Introduction to Part II here >>>
