WTF happened here ?????? I just made a small post, and u guys made a PIMP ????? Good Gracious !!!!!

@Stallion : Thts right Dude, but i aint got no Financial support unlyk some other ppl, so i have to get a job atleast for sumtime till my site is ready

The word is not "EASY-Money", but a job related to my field of intrst which can spare me sometime for my own Project ( i hope i am making my point clear).

@ initpid : Come on HERO Do i REALLY Look Lyk some1 who wld be intrsted in all that $hit !!!!

I am kinda serious on this topic if u guys got some other impression somehow!!!!

You're obvioulsy serious. we can't dare deny that. but there aren't enough jobs in the sector right now. and you'll not get spare time in this job. read what Ad1 had to say?

I still stand by my suggestion. modelling agency ftw. and better open it in sub-urban area. mast chalegi,'delhi-6' style

Yes truly dat mite be the case. but my means are limited to india only.

well i dnt expect an engineering degree to help me along this path.
but i certain dont plan on wasting it,,
Games Industry is sumthing that i can devote my life to,, money not such a big issue at first
but an establishd career is wht i want as time goes by.

cmon now..if i can enjoy my work every day why shuldnt i try.
Let me state that game dev wuld be first choice,, i talking bout a real career here. srry if the THREAD TITLE ws a little off mark.. "CAREER IN GAMES INDUSTRY" mre like it.

and as i understand dat since i have absolutely no exposure to this kind of WORK, therefore i must start out at the bottom of the ladder.
i still would appreciate all the guidance i can frm anyone as to wht additional skill n expertise would help me in achieveing all this.

thnks for all the honest opinions evrybdy,, im have only begun thnking bout this seriously jus this while back.
.. for all it culd hav been .. i wuld hav been jus happy with the JOB dat SATYAM promised.

but thngs changd n now i wnt thm change to sumthing i really want.

i still hope fr a job as a php,.net developr n testing n wuld be happy with that as well given d times.

The 2 guys we have, are massively experienced, they've been in the gaming industry for over 5 years now. So, if your looking for an "easy" job, its not a good idea. Its a full-time+ job, I say + because you are expected to put in more than the usual 8 hours a day. More like 12.

thanks,, dats a pretty realistic description. 8 hrs of wrk i can evn put up in a regular software company,,
12 hrs would actually need dat little extra passion. i can vouch for dat.

Gaming is sumthng i will never quit fr life,, an evr since i remembr i wanted to be a programmer whn i grw up.
im fully capable of being professional bout this an commit to the best of my capabilities.





The scenario of the games industry is not promising in india rite now, but maybe 4 yrs down d line it wuld definetly prosper. an i wnt to there rite in d middle of it.


As of now im only left with high hopes n desire to learn and a gamers optimism.

I see. search for companies engaged in 'validation services'. contact them.

my firm does have a division^. but i doubt if they validate ('test') games. and even if they do, as fresher, no surety that you'll be put in those projects.

Pune? I didn't know they (EA) had another one after Hyderabad. Oh well...

[rpm19050]

i am wrong, as far as the website states. perhaps my memory mixed things up.
