Re: Furthering Education in Industry

Thank you, your advice has been helpful. I am interested in game design
and I would like to end up in a game designer position. Currently I'm
trying to break into the industry as a programmer as that's the main
amount of skill I have to offer. I am constantly trying to improve my
grammar and writing skills however due to certain limiting factors, the
major one being my dyslexia I am focusing on my game programming. I am
currently working on a large project as my demo.

I have read your FAQ and found it very informative. I have two last
questions.

I have written and directed eight plays to stage. Mostly in an amateur
field however all were commercial productions. Would stage experience
be appreciated by a game community as two agencies I have spoken to
weren't very enthused by my dramatic experience?

Is my approach of focusing on a stronger skill, programming, a valid
one in order to get into the industry and move from there?
