Who doesn't dream of a job that does not only pay your bills but is also truly about your passion and sometimes feels more like a hobby? Many would say that this description goes very well with people who work as game designers for video games. But what does a game designer really do all day long? We shed some light on this question by following Sandbox Interactive Game Designer Emil „Empa" Östlin around.

    It may be simple, require no skill, playable on a tablet, but it is fun. Soo....Yeah. Would pay $60 again :)

    Not sure about this game I never played it. I think there's no wasd, so that in itself causes me to think I probably won't like it. I would love to test this game since I've tested many games before actual release. If you want a fair and honest review send me a message in my inbox. I won't publish my review to the public if anyone from Albion is interested. I am highly interested because from what I read I see major potential.

    Here is the real life of an Albion Online dev:


    Sitting back and laughing at people paying 60$ to alpha test a phone and tablet game.


    A mobile game with almost no skill required due to a combat system simplified enough to be played while you take a poop on your phone.
    They changed combat to be skillshot based now

    Personally I would be rather embarrassed to be associated as a designer with this game, it is that bad.

    Its a game you play at an airport when you have 30-45 minutes of fidget time.That is if you dont have some sort of poker game on your phone.

    While I don't love everything about Albion Online, I have been in the last two or three tests. It doesn't seem like the above posters know much about it. It is good to know that game developers also have to deal with meetings on top of meetings. I found this little diary to be quite interesting.
