If you want to be a coder expect to work long hours, get paid a meagre wage and have almost no say in the overall design concept.
And maek vidya gaems is NOT nearly as fun as it sounds.
Fact 1: in the commercial world you will have no say in what your making.
Fact 2: you will be making a game you loathe, hate puzzle gaems? thats what you'll be building.
Fact 3: Even though you loathe it now thats nothing compared to how much you will six months down the line when youve been working with it for 18hrs a day.
Fact 4: Your an expendable member of the team, any fucking college dropout can sufficiently code a few functions and they all thing "MAEK VIDYA GAEMS" is an easy career choice.
Fact 5: VIDYA GAEMS CODARZ get paid less than coding anywhere else in the industry.
Fact 6: If your still reading this and not horrified at the prospect of becomming yet another broken desk monkey then your pretty much cut out for the industry.
