To me, this is rather urgent. I need to find a successful person I can interview from the gaming industry. This is for a major school assignment for my professional development class, and I need to have a write-up about it and everything due this month. The questions I'll ask will have to do with how you got to where you are, and other questions I'll ask will relate to my professional development program class (Are you familiar with 7 Habits of Highly Effective People? MBTI? etc.). This needs to be done as soon as possible. I'm hoping to find someone here that will take up the offer. The interview can be done on an IM (MSN preferably), or email (I doubt an in-person meeting would be possible). I'm not always available since I do have other school work I need to do as well. Wednesdays and Thursdays are days that are completely free for me. Email me if you're wanting to be interviewed. My email's justin___j@hotmail.com (note: 3 underscores in the email address) [Edited by - Ravuya on November 12, 2009 2:23:52 AM]

Hmm... not getting anyone. Great. I don't want to fail this course. Almost ready to hit my panic button...

Define 'successful' and does it have to be a designer? Don't forget that you are on a forum mostly populated by programmers. Which designers have you tried to approach already?

Also it may pay off to perhaps post your request directly to a few dozen studios.

Providing your report wont take much of that designers time.

As said above most forum users here are programmers.

What is your professors email, because frankly I'm sick of these posts and sick of them thinking that there are so many people that can/want to do these interviews. How can they expect you to find and interview people you don't know? And then your supposed to do it online?

By successful, I mean someone who's working in the gaming industry.

Thanks for the advice.

I have over two years of experience in the game industry as a designer. You weren't every specific in the first place in what you meant by "successful" [wink] I'm willing to help you out, just shoot me a PM or an e-mail (which you can find via my website).
