I've spotted 6 grammatical errors in your post. How can a serious game creater HOPE to make something good with spelling like that.
You speak like YOU'RE a moron that either doesn't have english as a first language or even more insulting, english IS your first language and you're ignorant about your OWN language. How dare you insult someone who obviously surpasses your own pitiful intellect.
On my own note, I'd like to add that writing is an important facet to making a good game, but it's not the only aspect to enact.
First off, most young writers made their debut rather slowly. People fed them lousy criticism, and refused to acknowledge their writings until after they became famous for a seperate work, or until after they died.
During the time of Shakespeare, many people HATED his works, and often criticized him publically.
Age is often a misconception people place on writing, because many sucessful writers only appeal to younger READERS. It's hard for older readers to actually comprehend the younger writers' capabilities, because the older readers are still stuck on predispositions to older writers with a more old-school style of writing.
To be a sucessful writer, you must also be an open-minded reader ;]
Judging from some of the games I've observed there are MANY people who lack both ingredients.
I'll disagree with the statement that game making is a skill, it is a concept.
A concept is more complex than simply learning how to make a game, it's capturing people by it's plot, creating characters who FEEL like actual characters,
and also of course making the world of said game.
It takes a handful of skills for game making, WRITING being not a required but a USEFUL one.
How else can you captivate gamers? By a new menu screen? Maybe by a new system, something that makes the game unique in some way, but ultimately the whole point is to
make a good game, right? Could you really accomplish such a feat without knowing how to write?
Dialogue and story are prequisites to the entire spine of the game.
Some people "judge game" by their cover and fail to see the points of the plot.
Imagination helps when you can write, though.
Wow, my post was almost exactly this.
Too busy reading troll comments to actually observe substance.
Cheers! :alright:
