‘Some game companies want highly trained graduate artists and programmers. Some claim they really prefer creative individuals with a good Liberal Arts background. They can’t both be right can they?’
I would say yes they can both be right as companies look for different talent in certain individuals to what they need on their current projects or upcoming ones. So the company has a mix of talents, which therefore would lead to a great game as all aspects are covered by the whole team.
Having a team full of highly trained graduate artists and programmers, sounds like music to the ears of companies as there all set and ready to do the job, so in Theory University is saving the companies money and time, training undergraduates to full potential.
Those with a good liberal Arts background are often rare and hard to find, someone who is major talented artistically, therefore the companies cannot rely on such individuals too come along as the industry needs to grow, so the better option would be for those, who know the up to date software and also have a arts background at the same time, would be better to employ.
So overall, I would say companies ask for a mix of talent, whether highly trained or major talented visually as those who are trained to use the software could teach an artistic person their skills and once that person acquires those skills he could be a great games Artist.
