Programmers Programming is the lion's share of any game. You cannot see the graphics, move around, play a character, whatever, without someone programming it in. Aware that it takes a long time to program a game, many programmers make compromises with their personal time to find more time for work. Washing in a morning, obviously a useless activity, at least fifteen precious minutes; the first habit to go. Social life; well, that follows soon after, the bonus being that after step one is complete no work is required to complete step two. Some may appear to shave, but this is a false impression caused by side-effects from step one. Staying at work late, often one is working up to the very limit of consciousness. Far be it from me to laugh at anyone who regularly wakes up with an impression map of a keyboard on their forehead.
Artists Need to be kept in line by the strong will of the designer, or they are likely to run amok with glittery graphical renders like unusually talented magpies. When confronted with a designer's ideas, their eyes glaze over and they mumble things like "Yeah, just like in that film the other day, yeah", requiring a hand to be waved in front of their face. Also likely to get extremely upset when you express any dissatisfaction with their work, for some reason. But they make the game look good, so you have to be nice to them. Pity.
Game Designers Gods made flesh, this curiously handsome and attractive breed of superhumans are at home in any situation. Their colleagues' lack of intelligence prevents them from fully understanding the marvellous ideas and concepts that are continually created in the fiery furnace of the designer's mind. As jealous lesser intellects are prone to do, they will mock and tease the designer, hoping to provoke him into a stunning display of the highly spiritual yet still very vicious martial art that all designers know. They withhold their full knowledge for mankind is not ready for the titanic burden it brings. The opposite sex are drawn to designers as moths to a nuclear explosion, though they hide it well. |
