	Game tester - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most games go into what is called "crunch time" near deadlines—developers (programmers, artists, game designers and producers) work twelve to fourteen hours a day and the testers must be right there with them, testing late-added features and content.
		In the early days of computer and video games, the developer was in charge of all the testing.
		For this reason, as mentioned earlier, most game testing jobs are taken as "foot in the door" positions, used as a stepping stone for more lucrative lines of work in game development.

	Game artist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A game artist is responsible for all of the aspects of game development that calls for visual art.
		Game artists are often noted in role-playing games, collectible card games, and computer and video games.
		Up until about the early 1990s, almost all art for video games were created by the game programmers.

		The popularity of computer and video games, as a whole, has been increasing steadily ever since the 1984-1987 drop-off caused by the video game crash of 1983, and the popularity appears to be continuing to increase.
		Computer and video games have been the subject of frequent controversy and censorship, due to the depiction of graphic violence, sexual themes, advertising, consumption of illegal drugs, consumption of alcohol or tobacco, propaganda or profanity in some games.
		Games running on a PC are often designed with end-user modifications in mind, and this consequently allows modern computer games to be modified by gamers without much difficulty.

		Artists in the industry seem to cross the spectrum from those with a college degree and little professional experience to those with a lot of professional background and far less formal training.
		Texture Artists work on the surface appearance of things, such as the look of a character’s face, or the leaves on a tree; most Texture Artists are adept at Photoshop and are proficient in 2D art and backgrounds.
		A game company in a major metropolitan area might pay more than a company in a small town in a remote state, but then, the cost of living for the artist in the city might be remarkably higher, too.

	Game Artist
		This part of game development is most similar to traditional film animation, and in fact, pre-rendered scenes may be outsourced to an animation company rather than produced by the game team itself.
		In-game cutscenes are usually produced by the game team, and may be created during a cycle in the overall development of the game rather than by a specific person on the team.
		Depending on the software packages used to create the game, there may be a need for an artist skilled in one of the common 3D packages, such as 3DSMax, to lay out the levels that have been designed by the designers.

	Glass Bead Game - Artist's Statement
		In that work, Hesse describes the Game as "a mode of playing with the total contents and values of our culture; it plays with them as, say, in the great age of the arts a painter might have played with the colors on his palette." [1].
		He constructs a futurescape in which players of the Game are something like today's musicians, historians and mathematicians, all rolled into one.
		When multiple Glass Bead Game players agree upon a symbolic vocabulary for beads and tiles, and simultaneously adopt standards for the universal interchange of semantic information, each becomes able to contribute to an ever-growing crystal of insights and perceptions.

		All through human history, people have played games to entertain themselves and others, and there is an enormous variety of games types; for specific information about any type, see links at the end of this article.
		In Philosophical Investigations, philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein argued that the concept "game" could not be contained by any single definition, but that games must be looked at as a series of definitions that share a "family resemblance" to one another.
		Many technical fields are often applied to the study of games, including probability, statistics, economics, ethnomathematics, and game theory.

	Artist vs UI Designer - Indiegamer Developer Discussion Boards
		Then these people were not as good an artist as you thought, because a good artist will be able to make a great UI easier than he will be able to draw you a great picture.
		Typically (even on large titles) the UI artist and the UI designer are the same person, with the game design team having some input and steering the thing as it goes through different iterations.
		So an artist who may know how to make a nice looking 3d model could be shockingly poor at laying out visual elements on a screen, or making things react how the game designer wants them to react.

		These are suggestions that I've formulated both from observing and discussing the reactions of artists, art directors, and hiring managers to artists submissions and by participating myself in the review and hiring process.
		It is true that many artists can adapt their skills to make great game art, after all none of us popped out of the womb knowing how to manipulate polygons or paint textures.
		Once an artist is passed over for the position they desired in the film or broadcast industries they will often re-circulate their reel through the ranks of game development studios.

		But her books are like jewels in another way: I think that the beauty of her writing, the elegance of the scenes, the wit of the conversations she constructs can overwhelm the story and overshadow the real beating heart of the romance.
		Finally, there are a couple of instructive games which look especially at attacks on the weak f7/f2 squares and their outcomes, around which many wins or losses can revolve.

	attn: video game artist/animators - NSX Prime
		Video game artists also face technical complications and limitations that other artists don't have to deal with...an animator wanting to work for Pixar rather than for a game studio might not care to deal with such tedious things.
		And, from my experience, the better artists tend to be perfectionists...meaning that they'll work as hard as possible (late into the night, long into the weekend, etc.) to achieve a certain level of quality (Could this be the "attitude" that FuryNSX is talking about?).
		As frustrating as it was, I miss the curse-inducing difficulty of older Nintendo and PC-Engine games.

		Certainly, Nintendo will be able to produce future Game Boys that stay ahead of the generalized smart phone curve, but that point may be moot for the mass market.
		Quality games should be determined by the market, not by technology limitations.
		The software library issue is most troubling because, ultimately, if the games don't offer appealing themes that address a broad base of consumers, then the technology issues of backward compatibility, 3D and wireless won't matter.
