To be perfectly honest, while I find this class fun and interesting, I do not intend to become a game designer, coder, or likely anything related to gaming. I do, however, have some ideas that I wouldn't mind incorporating into some indie game. My geeky engineering past is re-emerging and I find the coding to be very intriguing, and this, combined with the creative ideas, makes it all very appealing, but nothing I'm truly passionate about. I see this more as a hobby than a profession, but because I want to open doors to all avenues of media arts, I feel I need to at least understand the basics of game design. Who knows, perhaps I'll really get into this? I was good at BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL and PASCAL. Why not Flash?
If I had to choose a role in the gaming industry, it would be very difficult, as I would love to come up with the idea of the game and be involved in its story development, and I would also like to code for the challenge and elegance of it. I suspect, though, that the idea generation would ultimately win.
