Unicorn type person working in games here.
Engineering, design, art, music, etc.
I started my career as an abstract painter and sculptor. Then transitioned into 3d animation, then web design, then into back-end web engineering. Found I was decent at that, then moved into web games(flash). I've been making games and interesting public interactive projects ever since.
Nothing you've probably heard of, maybe the ZX Plectrum (if you are British), a musical toy for android and iOS that is fairly popular.
If I would call my self anything it would be artist.
- jstummbillig 5y ago> Unicorn type person What is that?
- high_byte 5y agoI heard that from a girl in a dance club one time, but I don't think he means the same.
- soylentcola 5y agoYeah...it can mean different things depending on context. The meaning you probably refer to is one of them, but generally it refers to someone rare and in-demand.
- numlock86 5y agoFrom my heard usage of the term it usually describes a person that has deep understanding of a lot of things and hence can do almost anything with it. Like imagine a full stack developer but with deep domain knowledge in every related field. Widening that knowledge is usually just one project with a new stack away. Often x10devs and INTJs as one might guess.
- DaveSapien 5y agoThats my understanding also, but I never know with how terms change quickly. So willing to be corrected!
- DaveSapien 5y agoI've heard it used to describe professionally multi-skilled people in significantly different domains.
