In video game production, there are usually three major roles. Providing art for the game, programming the game, and music/sound design for the game.

Yes, I know in bigger games there are many more roles (designers, business, etc.) but what I want to find out is the ratio of people with these three skills on these forums.


So, what skills do you have? Art? Programming? Music?

Also, what do you think is the most common of these three for someone to have in the video game business?

Thanks in advance!

My skills are programming and music (though not very good at sounds), I can also make some shitty pixel art.

No idea what the most common combination is.

Interesting topic, but perhaps you should make it a poll to get more engagement. There are only 10 possible answers.

I specialize in programming and music, although I've really only gotten into programming since the start of 2011. Been doing music all my life (playing instruments, arrangements), but not writing stuff seriously with DAWs/trackers until early 2011 as well.

I can half-ass art enough for prototypes, and it's something I like doing, and would like to learn more about, but I'm busy doing the above.

I started as a programmer and now I'm more into art. So I guess I'm both but more of an artist.
But my main specialization is design and management

I'm creatively self-contained so all three, really. I don't know how well I can manage each of these but I think pretty good. And it feels great to be able to make a game without any outside help.
