Would anyone be kind enough to describe the hierachical tree of a typical games company, ie: job titles (and what the job entails). Also can you detail the game development process, from concept to publication (and anything interesting inbetween). Are ideas driven by market research, like some much else in this day and age? Or is there room for individual inspiration? Also, working environment? Thanks for your time.

Probably not, since you can just look that stuff up in FAQs, like for instance http://www.igda.org/breakingin/career_paths.htm and http://www.sloperama.com/advice/lesson10.htm and http://www.sloperama.com/advice/finances.htm

Already been done. http://www.sloperama.com/advice/lesson10.htm

Maybe sometimes.

Maybe sometimes.

Read http://www.sloperama.com/advice/lesson15.htm and http://www.sloperama.com/advice/lesson14.htm and find more articles to read - like on Gamasutra, for instance.

>Thanks for your time.

Your turn to spend time - read those articles.
