A Game Developer's Nightmares

Game maker: "I'm a game developer"....
Ignorant common man: "Huh??? Whats that??"...
Game maker: "I'm part of a team that makes Video Games"....
Ignorant common man: "For a living?"...
Game maker: "Yes".....
Ignorant common man: "Well, that can't be too hard...you must be living it up with all the free time you must have, eh?"..
Game maker: "(sigh)"...

This is the standard conversation that happens between game makers and people who are not game makers....And I'm sure every game maker will have gone through such a conversation atleast once in their lives!! If you have then I'm sure you also must have felt like punching the "non game maker" in the face, and cursing him with all sorts of obscenities(hope i spelt it right) that only a gamer could come up with!!

It simply blows my mind to imagine that there are actually people out there who think that making a computer game has to be as easy as plucking a mango out of a tree!!

Well, I can rant all I want and no one is going to pay any attention to it.....so hopefully instead of going on and on about this whole wide world and how ignorant it is, I might as well put in something useful into this blog...give the world a little sneak peek into my brain when its working and show theses "noobs" as gamers call them exactly how "Easy" it is to be a game developer....

P.S--A Quick Disclaimer:
                  If you are in any way connected to the gaming universe you might have realized that i haven't mentioned anything about Game Designers in here....Well, I'm a Developer and hence am more likely to crib about inustices done to developers than to designers....however this in no way means that designers are any lesser than developers...I'm sure a designer would be working equally hard, if not harder, and would be equally annoyed at having a conversation like the above!!! (Being more creative people they may even comeup with a more drastic way of punishment than a punch in the jaw....so Beware!!)
