Every muscle pulls the weight.
There's a joy in seeing your work inside of a world. Knowing that, in the sum of parts that is the entire game experience, you made that potted plant. Or you decided it goes right there. Or you wrote the routine that makes it tip over and break when you bump in to it. No one will ever know, or even necessarily think about all of the little things that go in to the game. But you know.
Plus you get to go to E3. It's like setting foot in the holy land. You could only watch the coverage from afar before, as an outsider. But now here you are, standing at the precipice and waiting for the gates to open. You made it. You deserve to be here. You're a developer, and this is your three day exclusive industry only arcade parlor full of games no one else can play yet. It doesn't matter if you worked on Modern Warfare or Farmville. On those three magical days in LA, we're all equal. Brothers and sisters, all here because we love this industry, and all the things we are able to do.
- Paul_S 12y agoMost game devs never get to go to ANY conference, let alone E3. You make it sound like everyone gets a free flight to LA and a tourist visa.
- bittermang 12y agoYou get to go. Entry is the hardest part. Weather or not you want to go, can go, travel, logistics, boarding. Sure. But you're allowed in the door. You get a golden ticket if you want one. It's free, and your birthright by being a developer, you just have to show up with your badge.
