what's the chance of a non-native english speaker to get a game designer job?

kamichan · 2009-11-07T07:14:59

hi all! i'm really wondering if i have any chance to shoot on this. I got ideas, some game programming background and art background, as well as sloppy english and poor communication skills. I already have designed and coded two games developed in XNA, a shmup and a tower defense. i believe they do stand out with some dinstinguishing features comparing with other games in the same genre, but is it enough to fill the gap left by english? thanks for giving me any advise!

If you want to add some panache to your speaking skills, I recommend Toastmasters. I'm sure they have a chapter where you are... I'm sure you'll be terrified to join and participate. That's normally a sign that you're on the right track!
