Hi there,
My 12-year-old daughter dreams of a career that has anything to do with games, and I fully support that. She is quite insecure about it as she is quite bad at maths and has no artistic/design talent (her words, not mine). She does enjoy writing and is debating a career in writing for video games, or perhaps video game journalism. She thinks this is her only option due to the things I just mentioned. She was going to do a Bachelors degree in Computing and IT and Design to possibly become a web designer, but her passion is video games and she wants to follow that, so now she is thinking of doing a Bachelor's degree in creative writing as a first step towards games writing career. She has some questions I am hoping someone can answer.
Is writing for video games her best option if she can't do maths/digital art, or wants to test games?
If she does want to fully commit to being a games writer, would a bachelor's degree in creative writing be the best option for her? Even if that course doesn't include fantasy, science fiction, horror, etc?
