This should be interesting since I still don't quite know everyone's talent.  ;D

I'm going to have to go with Programming, even though I've only made a few games before (and definitely nothing as complex as KQ9).   8)

Hmm. Depends on what you mean, exactly.

I'm good at things like organizing, proofreading, continuity checking, that sort of stuff, which would be useful to a team making a game. But I don't have any creative talent for actually *making* any part of a game.

Naturally, I'd have to go with "no skills whatsoever"...  :P
But if you force me to choose what I least suck at, I'll have to go with programming. I mean, I'm supposed to have some offical education in that field (as opposed to all the others)  :P

lol Programming's there!  :o  Design... hmm that could be pretty broad category cuz it could mean programming, art, writing, etc.  Actually, anything that is created is from a conceptual design! :D

Jeysie, the skills you listed could go under Writing and/or Programming (the proofreading and continuity checking are a part of testing  ;D),
Also, don't forget, this is about any kind of computer game.  ;D

And Storm, we've seen your fan fics and your artwork... you certainly have skills!   8)

Thank you, Yonkey!! :D  
But what artwork are you talking about? I don't do those :-\

Hehe, I'm talking about the coloured art you did of Edgar & Alex in the Fan Art Gallery forum.   :D

Storm

Oh. That's just coloring someone else's art - I don't do art myself :P

I rather obviously picked Story/Writing.

And I think we all know Mike falls under "Renaissance Man" ;-)

Storm, why don't you apply for the colorist job we have open?

I definately agree about Mike! we've all seen his wonderful work... is there anything this guy CAN'T do?  ;D

That would be too important a task to give to me :-\ I just dabble. That way I don't have to be any good  :P
Besides, it would spoil the game for me ;)

I'll only give the game spoiling reason. Because you rock at the coloring and are already good. :P

In the world I come from (newly arrived at this one...yea and they lost my luggage) folks would say I was good at the people management thing…being a Stage Manager.  I think the cooperate world calls that HR…sounds sort of scary.   Donno I like to make lists of stuff…

It’s not on the poll either so I guess I’m off the hook!
