Is it possible to get a job in gaming where you are responsible for dreaming up ideas rather than actually making them using the technical side?

I heard something about if you post your idea to yourself then it becomes copyright to the sender.

Its probably rubbish.

Start off as an artist, work up. Shouldn't have to do proper programming as an artist, though you may have to do some in-depth 3d modelling and character animation.

You want to buy the copyright.

That (c) thing only accounts to the net stuff and it's probably made up anyway.

How many of you believe that ROMs should be deleted within 24 hours?

See!

There's some freaky act out there that allows you to copyright your work if it falls under certain headings like original story, original design/art work etc All you need to do is type your name then the copyright symbol and the year. Eg John Smith Copyright 2003 Although you would normally use the C with a circle round it when spelling "Copyright"
