As someone who left the video game industry many years ago, I can tell you that it won't be that creative.
The real creativity happens in indie game development and smaller studios, not the "churn the latest AAA game using starry eyed low paid 20 year olds" mills.
If you want to have creativity, either find a cushy and easy boring job and make the game of your dreams on the side, or find some small indie studio working on stuff that interests you.
- t0bia_s 4y agoI was one year in indie studio as art director. Yes, it is probably more creative than in AAA studio, but you never know if your game will pay your effort. So it is more like hazard.
- disqard 4y agoTo GP: this is very true. The parent comment's third paragraph is a superb strategy to consider. Of course, if your mind's made up, you'll just have to realize this for yourself, through first-hand experience.
- IceMetalPunk 4y agoI'm not looking for a AAA studio. An indie studio is fine with me (in fact, preferred). I know what my minimum salary is to afford my bills/mortgage/food, and I'm not greedy beyond that :)
