>>2264084This man is largely correct. I worked in AAA development and it is pure horse shit. Absolutely clueless individuals at every position of importance, whose only experience of playing a video games in the last decade is Clash of Clans and that free cd key the publisher gave them at Christmas.
I didn't work in the art department, but I saw much of the process and all of the results. Everything seemed to follow the route of the lead artist who, whilst skilful, had the most god awful understanding of character design, which in turn, meant everyone was churning out these horrendous monstrosities of characters.
What will crush you though, is actually caring about making a game. If you aren't concerned about making a good game, besides the horrible overtime, you'll probably be fine. If, on the other hand, you are invested in what you are developing, stay fucking miles away from games development. You'll just endure one insane, ignorant, illogical, dumbed down bat shit retarded idea after another from the "designers" and studio head, without having any say on the matter.
There is just so much wrong with it all it is too much to go into. I say, if you genuinely want to make interesting designs for games, you have to be self-reliant, get a small group together and make your own titles.
