1. No, because it seems very intimidating.

2. Permanent. Needed to pay the bills and for emergencies.

3. Small. Would be able to implement my ideas more.

4. Several small projects. I think long term projects would cause me to loose interest & motivation

5. Partnership. Would feel a company that self-publish would want too much control over ideas.

1. Have you considered becoming a game developer / are you currently a game developer?

I have definitely considered it, but being 39 years old it is a bit intimidating to just jump into. I really really wish that I could have had opportunities to learn Programming and Coding as a kid, but those opportunities didn't exactly exist. However, the chances I missed out on as a younger man, I am trying to create for my students. As a 6th Grade Computer Teacher, I have now created a class called Programming Pride. I have 30 6th Graders, whom, for 40 minutes a day, 5 days a week, get to work on programming and coding. After 8 weeks, I get 30 new 6th Graders. So far this year, I have helped teach 60 6th grade students how to program and code using Scratch, AppInventor, Tynker, Code Combat, Blockly, Game Maker etc. I may never be a game developer, but I am trying to introduce my students to programming and coding so they can be.

2. In general, do you prefer contract / temporary employment or long term / permanent employment?

I have been teaching at my school for 12 years. I like having this permanent employment. Not only do I get to know my coworkers much better over time, but I feel that the more time I can spend with people, the more it helps us build that community within the workplace. Plus, I live in my school's district, my students go to my corporation, and I always see my little 6th graders, many all grown up now, waiting on me, working at my favorite stores. It is a unique and pretty cool experience for me and my job. Moving away from that for a new job opportunity or for new scenery, would be tough.


3. If you worked in the game industry, would you prefer to work at a small / indie studio or a large / AAA studio?

I would rather work in a small indie studio. I feel that it would be far easier to take risks without huge budgets and sales goals to meet. Sure, even independent developers have their own budgets and goals, it just seems to me like the big budget AAA studios have much more to lose by taking risks.

4. Would you prefer to work on one large project over the course of several years, or work on several different projects over the same course of time?

I cannot stay focused on one job, one project, for long periods of time. My creativity and imagination wonders quite frequently. When I am teaching a subject at school, I am sometimes so excited to work on what we are doing next, that maybe I don't maintain my focus on what we are working on now. I would prefer working on several projects.

5. If you did work in the game industry, would you prefer to work in a company that has a publisher as a partnership or work in a company that self-publishes games?

I dont know if I would have a specific preference. I would just want to work at a very open, inclusive community. People from different backgrounds, different experiences. I am not asking for a laid back lax workplace. I need to be driven, and pushed. I would simply prefer a company that has the door open to all people, so I could learn from their experiences and expertise, and they from mine. As a lifelong learner, I have found that the experiences and backgrounds of others, can be one of life's greatest teaching tools.
 
1- Not really, I keep hearing about how tough of a job it is and financially not very rewarding.

2- Long term definitely, it's easier to settle down that way.

3- A small indie studio might be a more relaxed work place but I might be wrong. I tend not to do well when I'm supposed to be working with hundreds or thousands of different people.

4- Several different projects, makes things more interesting. I would get bored with a single large project.

5- A company that self publishes games sounds better to me. It would help with easier communication with the publisher if we're the same company.


On PC at least I don't think games are region locked except a few continents like South America I think. I have bought games from different countries and the codes worked when I was back home.
 
1. yes, just started a game recently :)
2. contract i guess. but idk. the idea of working with different people per game sounds like you could make more diverse games but at the same time i like to stay in my comfort zone a lot of the time
3. indie
4. several sounds a bit long but probably the length of time i'd have to do to make games on the scope i want
5. self publish

1. Have you considered becoming a game developer / are you currently a game developer?

I currently am one. However, my project is not in a state for release yet.

2. In general, do you prefer contract / temporary employment or long term / permanent employment?

Permanent.

3. If you worked in the game industry, would you prefer to work at a small / indie studio or a large / AAA studio?

Small studio, less money sure, but more freedom.

4. Would you prefer to work on one large project over the course of several years, or work on several different projects over the same course of time?

One large project. Small projects are just features that can be in large projects anyway.

5. If you did work in the game industry, would you prefer to work in a company that has a publisher as a partnership or work in a company that self-publishes games?

I'm on the fence. Having a publisher is nice because it helps with the money aspect, but they may have rules under a contract that can affect the overall design. I guess I'll go with a partnership.
 
1) No

2. Long term/permanent employment.

3. A small/indie would be ideal for me.

4. Several different projects.

5. One that self published would be my preference.

1. Game dev was a childhood dream of mine. At least until I took my first class on C++ and learned that I don't have a mind for coding. (Yes, I know that game dev doesn't necessarily require programming ability. Nevertheless, this is where my dream ran aground).

2. Long-term employment. I'd be more willing to consider contract employment if benefits weren't an issue. Who wants to entertain the idea of going without healthcare?

3. It really depends on the quality of the management and of one's relationships with other team members. I can see either being a real pleasure or a total nightmare.

4. Several projects. One of the benefits of my current job (in academe) is that I get to work on a number of different projects and with a great degree of autonomy.

5. All else being equal, I'd rather self-publish. Less support, but less risk of interference or unrealistic demands.
 
1. I have considered becoming a game developer.

2. I prefer long-term / permanent employment.

3. I would prefer working in a small / indie studio.

4. I prefer working on a larger project.

5. I would prefer self-publishing.
 
1. Have you considered becoming a game developer / are you currently a game developer?

I have and i've even looked into programmer/coding classes. But its too late for me to learn.

2. In general, do you prefer contract / temporary employment or long term / permanent employment?

Permanent employment. I'm a temporary employee right now and it really sucks.

3. If you worked in the game industry, would you prefer to work at a small / indie studio or a large / AAA studio?

Small/indie studio. I feel like they're true passion projects and probably provide a much better work/life balance.

4. Would you prefer to work on one large project over the course of several years, or work on several different projects over the same course of time?

Several projects at the same time.

5. If you did work in the game industry, would you prefer to work in a company that has a publisher as a partnership or work in a company that self-publishes games?

Self-publishes, you're in control that way.

4. One Large Project to pour my heart and soul into.

5 One that can self publish. Again, id want my creative freedom, and being tied to a large publisher often hinders that.

1. Not game developer, but I have considered working in game development as graphic design, marketing, or as a writer.

2. Long term employment

3. I think I would prefer AAA, but that might depend on what I'm doing. I think if I was helping with marketing/design I wouldn't mind the long AAA development cycle.

4. Would prefer several.

5. Probably self published.

Probably a small indie studio, because I like having design input and most likely, at an AAA studio, I would be farther down the totem pole than I would like.

I could probably go either way. But most likely I would prefer several projects, because of the variety.

There is a contentious relationship either way, but the self-publishing route means that the business side is a lot more likely to give a shit about the developers than the outside-publishers.

Like, if this was a "do I accept the job offer" decision, the actual identity of the publisher would make a huge difference.

Some feedback, you should code your questions. This will make collecting and analyzing the answers easier.

1. Y / N
2. A, B, C
3. etc...
 
1. Have you considered becoming a game developer / are you currently a game developer?

In the past it was a dream. I'd love to work at a game studio, even as a community manager at this point.

2. In general, do you prefer contract / temporary employment or long term / permanent employment?

Long term/permanent employment for sure. I've been with the same company for almost a decade now. Love the job security.

3. If you worked in the game industry, would you prefer to work at a small / indie studio or a large / AAA studio?

A smaller studio, with maybe 50 or so employees. Seems like the perfect environment for me.

4. Would you prefer to work on one large project over the course of several years, or work on several different projects over the same course of time?

Hard to say, since both seem equally fulfilling and exciting. I think at first, I'd want to work on a couple projects over the course of a couple years.

5. If you did work in the game industry, would you prefer to work in a company that has a publisher as a partnership or work in a company that self-publishes games?

Either is fine. If I had to pick, probably self-publish.
 
1. Yes, when I was younger / No, although I've worked on a number of apps as game producer
2. Long term, permanent employment
3. Small / indie studio
4. One large project over the course of several years, or a mixture of both (ex: prefer to have one large project, with a few smaller side-projects to mix things up. I'm answering this from a producer perspective)
5. Self-publisher

Good luck on your research project!
 
1. I've considered becoming a developer when I was much younger as I'm sure most of us have, but after reading about the working conditions I quickly realized it wasn't for me.

2. Long term employment for financial stability's sake.

3. Ok with either but slight preference towards large studio as it potentially opens up more career opportunities.

4. One large project at a time.

5. Publisher
