  Hello, my name is Lamar. I'm 19 and currently a College student at a Community College. Anyhow, allow me to cut to the chase.I'm new to the World of game development and such. I'm even still confused to this day as to what jobs specifically, I want to obtain. I know very little about programming and I'm no Picasso (I suck at drawing and don't know how to make 3D Designs either). I'm not quite sure how I can help and am very worried about how I'd be able to help make games. I'm still attempting to learn so that one day, I can hopefully, help make a successful game. Bottom line, I need help D: "^^.The job position I'm most likely aiming for is game design/game director/writer. I want to help as much as possible, however, I don't really expect to start off in any of these positions. I'm not sure how to start off actually. Anyhow, I really need the help of you fellow members to find my position. Here is some information I wish to provide.InformationWhat I hope to major in: Japanese Culture and LanguageWhat I wish to minor in: English (Most probably) and PhilosophySkills: I can type very well, have musical talent, and am creative.Concerns: Am I choosing the right career path?Deficiencies: Suffers from Asperger's Syndrome, not a severe case though.Troubles: Can't draw, program, or work with 3D software.Current Objective: Try to perhaps work with a small indy group and obtain experience.If there's anything you wish to know, please post your concerns and I will most probably respond. Thank you.   
  Sounds to me like a writer's position would be right up your alley. How are your writing skills? What classes are you taking (or could you take) that might further your writing abilities?   ;  Read this if you want to be a game designer: http://www.sloperama.com/advice/designprep.htmRead this if you want to be a game writer: http://www.sloperama.com/advice/lesson32.htmNot sure what you think a "game director" is, though.>Am I choosing the right career path?You are, if that's what you want to do.

It's too much work the way this forum makes you linkify (unless there's been a change).I knew that I've heard your name somewhere! Tom Sloper, your site is actually on my tabs and bookmarked. It's a pleasure to meet you good sir. I've tried reading your article, however... *Sigh* I'm not quite bright and I have trouble reading articles off the internet. I can understand short things such as Wikipedia and I get the gist of that, however, as I said before, I'm not the most prominent star in the sky, if you catch my drift. Anyhow, I writing position would be nice, however, I wish to help design the game as well, such as helping to create a battle system. I have an odd Philosophy when it comes to video games as well... Or at least, an odd theory... Anyhow, I'll try reading the article again, however, don't expect much... "^^
