Hello all.

My school is asking me to do a report to do an interview with a game creator, and i've been searching for a place i can do this at, but to no avail. Would someone please help me?

Yes, I do make games, but i need to ask someone else, that's the point of this. Thanks again.

These are the questions i need answering to....

"What are the good points and bad points?"
"What is the schedule like?"
"What are the responsibilities?"
"What are the benefits?"
"What are the personal satisfactions?"
"What are the education requirements?"
"What are the education oppurtunities?"
"What are the possibilities of advancements?"
"What is the salary like?"

Again, thank you!

Hey, I'm more of a modeler but I've made a couple small games. I'll fill it out and send it to your email.

Ask Jeku. He's one of few actual game developers here. And he's really nice and loves doing this sort of stuff. In fact, let me get his contact info for you...

You may have to wait longer than a few hours, just be patient.

I am. But the report is due tomorrow. If any one is working on a game, or has completed one, then you qualify.
