My parents always tell me that if i wanna be a game programmer, i need to stop playing games and study. I thought i couldnt get a job like that so i study books about c++ and progamming language at night, can i still get a job like this? I havent played much of the games of the company that i wanna join and i dont think there would be much time to in the future. Also, if i aint from America, can i join the American game company?

Gabriel, my comment about South American archaeology was an example of a class that might seem irrelevant to game developers but it can actually come in useful.

As for your chances to work in the US, there are many companies that will bring in developers from other countries. Your biggest barrier will be getting noticed. Start working in Brazil or put together an awesome demo and then approach companies saying “see, I wrote this”.

Also, only fairly large companies will have the resources to deal with Visas and bringing people from other countries, so keep that in mind when you decide to approach companies. Good luck!

I got really sad when i saw “You may think that your South American archaeology class will never be of any relevance”… i live in Brazil and im attending a COMPUTER SCIENCE college… and im learning a lot about game development… i have game programming classes… and im thinking of doing some specialization in GAME PROGRAMMING here in Brazil.

So, i ask you, please, answer sincerely. Do i have ANY change of getting a job in game developing in USA ? i have english certification and all this stuff…

Plz, answer me! im not a fool….
