Experienced Points So You Want To Be a Game Developer?

Shamus Young: I worked adjacent to the games industry for over 15 years. I spent all of those years at the same company. (I usually describe our company thus: We were to Second Life as EverQuest is to World of Warcraft.) It was a small company and I wore a lot of hats. I made 3D models and textures. I built game space. I programmed. I even maintained the website for a little while. So while my work was very much the same as your typical game development work, the company culture was actually a lot closer to a more traditional software company. We worked normal hours in regular cubicles for industry-standard pay.
