Someday I'm going to:
get into the video game industry
get into the video game industry by: MGermanLortie
I have long enjoyed playing video games, but only in college did I think of it as a career. I dream of owning a game studio and creating a game that does for the industry what Citizen Kane did for movies, but I`ll start by getting a foot in the door.
This is my plan | 0%

  • img_improve my programming knowledge. focus will be primarily on base languages used in the industry, e.g c, as well as scripting with python, ruby, and lua.
    Step 1: Improve my programming knowledge. Focus will be primarily on base languages used in the industry, e.g C, as well as scripting with Python, Ruby, and Lua.3
  • img_build a portfolio. this will consist of code samples to give an idea of how i program, as well as a series of simple freeware-type games, each small enough to be written and play-tested over the course of a week or so. 2 or 3 should be a good start.
    Step 2: Build a portfolio. This will consist of code samples to give an idea of how I program, as well as a series of simple freeware-type games, each small enough to be written and play-tested over the course of a week or so. 2 or 3 should be a good start.4
  • img_create a personal website. this will be a place to host my portfolio and will serve to augment my existing resume.
    Step 3: Create a personal website. This will be a place to host my portfolio and will serve to augment my existing resume.2
  • img_continue to work/advance at my current job. over the next year or so this will allow me to show that i am a team player and gain experience with writing code, manage time, and eventually lead a small-to-medium team.
    Step 4: Continue to work/advance at my current job. Over the next year or so this will allow me to show that I am a team player and gain experience with writing code, manage time, and eventually lead a small-to-medium team.1
  • img_begin to attend industry conventions such as gdc or pax. use this opportunity to network with people already in the industry and generally get exposure as a talented programmer/developer interested in the field.
    Step 5: Begin to attend industry conventions such as GDC or PAX. Use this opportunity to network with people already in the industry and generally get exposure as a talented programmer/developer interested in the field.5
  • img_get a job. this step will probably get its own plan when i get to this point, but in summary, use my networking contacts from (5) to apply/be recommended for a position with a game developer, interview, and receive an offer.
    Step 6: Get a job. This step will probably get its own plan when I get to this point, but in summary, use my networking contacts from (5) to apply/be recommended for a position with a game developer, interview, and receive an offer.5

What is mySomeday.com Close
mySomeday is designed to help you achieve those goals and dreams you’ve always said you’d get to ‘Someday’. It was born from a universal truth; everyone has ‘somedays’ they want to realize. It was designed to address a universal reality; life, laziness or lack of know-how makes achievement elusive. ‘Plans’ are meant to address this gap between truth and reality. Whether you build your own original Plan or copy and customize an existing Expert or Community Plan, this detailed roadmap is meant to get you from start to finish. With a Plan, you can track your progress, set reminders and deadlines, get feedback from the community and much more. In addition to Plans, we hope that all of the elements of the site and the social connections that spring up will take people from idea, to plan, to partnership, and, ultimately, to achievement.
