Choosing A Career In The Video Gaming Industry
 

Author: Rich Heaney
If you really enjoy playing video games and you find them a challenging form of entertainment why not consider a career in the video gaming industry. If you are going to be working at something for 40 years or so don't you think it sounds like a good idea to choose something you enjoy doing?

There are plenty of opportunities out there in the gaming market, it is a truly huge industry with a turnover of billions of dollars worldwide. There are lots of different aspects to the industry so most people with an interest in video games should be able to find something to suit them.

Working as a video game programmer can be a challenging but well paid job. To be successful in this area you would require some form of training, most likely a degree in programming. This may not be an easy career to pursue but if you have the ability then you should always be able to find work.

Another job in the industry which may be of interest is that of a video game animator. To do well here you will need skills in design and you will also have to be creative. Imagine the buzz from seeing a piece of work you created being included in a video game which sells worldwide.

The audio aspect of game design is often overlooked but there are plenty of opportunities for sound effect and background music composers. In order to do well here a good knowledge of digital music is essential and having some game playing time under your belt is going to help as well.

Once video games have been designed the software developers need to have them tested. Video game testers fall into two categories. The developers do hire testers to play the games in house, if you were interested in this role you would need some programming skills. Also the developers use average game players to test there new titles, no special skills of qualifications are required. This can be a really good way to start out in the industry, they send you the games to test in the post along with what they want you to look at and report on. You send your report back to them, you get paid for your time and get to keep the game!

Building up experience in this way is useful if you would like to work for a major software house, you can do it at home in your spare time and once you become established you can do it full time. All you need to do is find out the right people to contact and how to get in touch with them, other than that becoming a video game tester is quite straightforward.
