need some help(plz read and thank you)

thanks guys, any other suggestions?dstryr13

umm, dont believe those commercials on tv where they say things like "play video games all day!" or "you can get your degree in less than a year!" game design takes actual work and knowledge. go to a uni or a community college if you cant afford it.

and dont do meth. it WILL **** you up.

collins college, thats where im going, already got accepted (majoring in game design)sovereign_22

Ah so take Computer Programming instead of Computer Science?Forerunner-117

yes, but a course in computer sciences wouldnt hurt. imma major in computer sciences though, its just what i wanna do.

Go to DeVry University.Witchking111111

i have been checking out DeVry

they have a Game & Simulation Development course

covers Art, Computer Programming and other stuff that pertains to it

i am extremely good at math, my best subject, and im pretty good with computers, very literate with them

any other suggestions? is DeVry a decent place to attend?

no lol, you cant do anything with the degree they give you! this is also true for most of these "crash course schools" where they say you can get a degree fast and advertise heavily. just go to a community college or university, you need a real education.

Best suggestion yet!

The best advice is probably to think about it some more. A lot of kids who are computer literate and play their fair share of videogames think they want to work in that industry, but eventually grow out of it. I'm not saying you fall into that category, but your ideas ARE typical, so there's always a possibility you'll fall out of it.

Beyond that, keep in mind no one in the videogame industry makes very much money (especially on the development side), it's a rigorous and demanding major (computer science geared towards programming and design and the like), and the demand for employees is low compared to how many potentials come out of the system every year hoping to get a job.

If you're still interested after a while, look into good computer science schools that may offer specific programs to help you go after videogame design. Start from schools like Carnegie Mellon, and work your way down.

Alternatively, do what this guy did. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Willits Specifically the ".. after impressing the owners and the development team with DOOM levels he forged in his spare time and distributed it for free over the internet .." part.gs_one

lol i wonder what the guy who made cs is doing now.
