If I am moderately successful, I'll continue to create games alone. Maybe that's better anyway.
To practically get into game design one approach is (or maybe *was*) to learn the things needed to design games on your own. Programming is one aspect, 2D/3D art another, animations too. Then there are more actual game design related things like writing stories and dialogues, working out game mechanics and systems... but you shouldn't count on getting a job in those areas. How? You just download the software, eventually watch tutorial videos, and set your own goals which you do.
For me it was learning to code, and my first program was a calculator. It was a console program and the coding was horrible, but it was robust and had a neat feature. You could write "x² -4x + 16 = 4" and it gave you both values for x. It was a neat start, and after that I continued with Unity, which operates in 3D vector space. I was quite happy when I managed to move some object around via code. Later I made a camera script that also had its own special features. Now I am working on something that spans the observable universe.
If anything, "learning by doing" is core. Learning theory is a waste of time if you don't apply it. Only when you apply things you'll develop an understanding and truly *learn* it.
Studying computer science or art (using said tools) might be another way... the "safer" way. There are even courses for game design explicitly. I don't trust them though.
Generally, if you want to get a job, you better show up with a demo that demonstrates your skills. That puts you far ahead in the list of applicants. And your main goal is to get started. From there on you'll acquire experience and can get better jobs.
I personally work on my own game. Thus I can do whatever the fuck I want. As an employee you are beholden to work on the ideas and plans of others, so if they want to push faggotry and niggers in the game, you'll have to comply. You'd also be bound to be in teams, so you cannot easily change things without coordinating with others. And if you have incompetent superiors or team mates, it sucks.
If you want to go this route, you NEED to acquire experience, skills and money. I worked 6 years as a dev, and I worked on my game in my free time, plus I got pretty good at coding. I always had this goal in mind and worked towards it for almost a decade now.
If you build up a $300,000 a year business and someone offered you $1,000,000 to sell it outright to them..yeah you could probably say, no thanks. Because that's only 3 years worth of your income. BUT If they offered you $5,000,000 for your same $300,000/year business, you'd be thinking real hard about that one. (That's 16 years worth of income) Don't say you wouldn't. And I doubt you'd even be caring about who the buyer was...b/c you're thinking..We'll, it's just a company. It's not breaking any laws and no one is getting hurt by me just selling my business to them. You just might sell, right?
Now image someone offered you $20,000,000 for your $300,000 business. You couldn't find damn pen fast enough to sign it over and you would give 2 fucks about who was buying it. Do you get my point?
This is what happens to good people who build good companies..innovative idea companies, etc. To the billionaire and trillionaire globalists, this money is nothing.
Yes. But money is not my only goal. At some point I'll have enough and won't really need more. Any excess has the sole purpose to be spent for my business. If they shower me with $1m or $10m becomes meaningless to me, because I'd have to grow the business in a feasible pace. What, I buy a nice plot of land, house, car, have a family. What more would I want?
I want to create something that becomes a part of me and my work, maybe even transcends time and will be remembered decades in the future. An accomplishment I would be proud of. And with people who will also be part of it.
> It's not breaking any laws and no one is getting hurt by me just selling my business to them. You just might sell, right?
The chances are high that it will end up in jewish hands, just to be defiled. I don't care about laws, I only care about morals.
> Now image someone offered you $20,000,000 for your $300,000 business.
That just enters pure fiction now. I don't expect them to like me and give me generous offers. If anything, they'd rather try to torch me and my business in an attempt to intimidate me, and then try to buy it for cheap (if they want to buy it at all).
> To the billionaire and trillionaire globalists, this money is nothing.
I'd rather be cautious about the infinite lawsuits they'd unleash upon me. But I am in Hungary, so things are different here than in the USA. USA is super crazy with these lawsuits... they just burn money so that the other side has to burn money, which is devastating to smaller businesses.
