My deveolping goals are as follows:
Long term
In five years time I would like to be working for a computer games company, either being involved with the game design, game animation or level design. Preferably being in the game design section, no doubt I’m going to have to go through a period of game testing so people will listen to me and so I will have been in the games industry. I would like to be working for a company that has a contract with Microsoft as I have played a lot of games consoles and the Microsoft XBOX and XBOX 360 are two of the best by far.
Mid term
In the next 18 months somehow I want to get myself involved in the games industry, be it an internship or actually designing a game with my own creative team, people for art people for art all that, hopefully some of my friends will be willing to participate although in saying that I would struggle to name five friends willing to help design a game with me.
Short term
I want to have all my dissertation work more or less done by the start of October, other than that again work my way into the game industry slowly I can use my dissertation to get me in the door hopefully as I will be talking to and interviewing people in the games industry for my dissertation. I would also like to have a fully working flash game as my own little summer project to give me some more coding experience.
