Select one job role that you are possibly interested in and then self reflect on whether you have the right skills to perform that job role. What skills do you need to acquire to be able to fulfil that job role. You should also explain how you intend to gain them skills.
Gameplay/Ai Programmer Skills - Source = Rockstar Games • Solid C++ programming skills. • Strong math skills, knowledge of vectors, matrices and linear algebra. • Excellent problem-solving ability. • Great team communication skills. • Passion for playing and creating cutting edge video game experiences. These skills are what Rockstar games looks for in an employee. I myself have 2 maybe three of these skills. I have a strong passion for playing and creating games. Plus I am rather good at math. However, I can work in a group confidently but may go off track. Best way to improve this is to focus more with a stronger work ethic. I am a novice when it comes to C++ but I am picking it up quickly and hopefully will be able to create a fully working script used for a game in the months to come. Another area I need to improve on is my problem solving skills, I can solve them quickly but sometimes I could spend hours fixing a problem when it could be just a misspelled word. At the moment in time I do not have the required skills but with determination and a strong mind set anything I want to do can be accomplished.
