I love computer science and have been attracted to all aspects of it for years. But I still continue to gravitate towards games and this article reminds me of why. Thank you to the author.
Practical application of cutting edge graphics tech to both make a beautiful image and create an immersive world is so compelling to me. I also really like the tight visual/audio iteration loop games provide for day to day work. It's incredibly rewarding to me to conceptualize how to solve a problem and have a playable prototype in the next few hours that a real player can test.
I can imagine myself working in various fields but I'm always drawn back to games for better or worse. While it's just as likely as a developer you'll incite gamer rage with some small mishap there is also the opportunity to make a piece of entertainment people love and remember. That's the goal I keep striving for in my work.
