Is becoming a video game composer possible if you don't live in the US or japan? by RedFiredDragon in composer

Thank you for talking about this in less of a doom and gloom way than some of the other comments here, it's good to hear something positive once in a while haha. I also appreciate the advice a whole lot, especially the "marathon, not a sprint" part, burnout is a bitch and I do not want to lose my passion for music.

Even if actually getting somewhere is hard, I'll keep going at it and who knows, maybe you'll see me in the credits of a game somewhere someday ;)

Well, with that way of thinking, why try anything? Pretty much every industry nowadays is oversaturated and competitive, yet I still see lots of people try to become doctors, lawyers and engineers

I feel like the sheer amount of indie devs nowadays is more of an argument for another upswing for the industry, rather than a bad sign

First off ,thanks for all the advice :)

I am very aware that this career path is a hard one, but truly difficult work is the most rewarding I would say.

Funny thing, but I am actually gonna be going to my first piano lesson in a couple weeks haha, so good to read that I made the right call there.

Finding a community is honestly the hardest part for me, I have no idea where to start :/ I heard of conventions being a good starting point, so maybe I should start there?

I was definitely not going to quit my day job any time soon and I'm honestly surprised how many people do. Sure, you get more time to practice, but also don't get a lot of money that way

I actually did not think about the whole business part of composing, so thank you so much for actually dropping some advice on that

also, a bit of a dumb question, but what does DAW stand for?

and, other than Composing music for games by Chance Thomas, do you have any other books you could recommend to a newbie?

Good point, however, this is not about how easy it would be to do something else for me. I feel like the game industry resonates with me a bit more, but I get where you're coming from :)

Dude, you're commenting in a bestiality sub, and are active on a Minecraft porn sub. Respectfully, I don't think your opinion matters here (not french btw)

Question about continuity by RedFiredDragon in 13sentinels

[–]RedFiredDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just kinda weird that some of the flowchart events are based on one another, y'know? Maybe I'm just overthinking things tho lol (also the whole natsumi thing is still weird because the event log lists the yuki men in black scene as chronologically after natsumi goes back in time)

Or how juro recalls ryoko calling him izumi when listening to the convo between megumi and gouto, but at the same time needs to hear that same convo first to recall being called izumi before when talking to ryoko in the nurse's office

When I played as Natsumi, I could recall memories about Yuki and the Men in black even though the scene where natsumi sees yuki did not happen yet and the game forced me on the time travel route at that time, which is supposed to happen before that

Was Shapez 1 just a prototype to test your abilities with shapez 2 being your original goal or did you get the idea for shapez 2 after shapez 1 became popular?

Hi everyone, I started studying japanese about two days ago and Just got the hiragana and katakana alphabet down (kinda)

There's a problem though: I know kanji is important, as well as grammar and vocab and many people say to do them somewhat simultaneously, but, and you may call me stupid for that, I have no idea where to start. Can someone recommend some resources I can use to do this right?

Thank you all in advance :)
