When I first started making games, I'd be sitting next to someone on a plane and they'd ask me what I did. I'd say "I make video games" and they would stare at me unable to process what I said. Now I say "I make video games" and they talk non-stop about what they are playing. I preferred the old way.
@de22920b Well, at least you're not in the shoes of Delores Edmund! Shunned by her own uncle for venturing into game development instead of continuing the family business 🤷♂️
@de22920b just tell them you "work in IT" and watch the broken printers crawl out of the woodwork.
@de22920b Say you're an accountant. Nobody asks you any questions when you say you're an accountant - according to a song I heard :)
@de22920b "have you made anything I've heard of?" and you just know that unless you've worked on Call of Duty or Fifa it doesn't matter what you say
@de22920b Allow me to be somewhere in the middle by saying I'm surprised to see someone from Humongous Entertainment on here. They were some of my earliest PC games and peak adventure games of the era. So thanks for that.
