How do I become a game designer? (Might sound silly, but please take a look:))
Right of the bat I'd like to apologize for what is probably going to be a pretty long post. Hello everyone who looks into this page. I am Alex and next year I'll be finishing high-school. The traditional 12 year grid if you will :D. It is a really confusing time for me now, because I should already know what I'm going to do after finishing school and where I'm going to do it, but unfortunately I don't... At least not entirely. For about 4 years now I've been really into writing stories and making games, it is a big passion of mine so a thought crossed my mind that I would feel truly happy if I could do that for a living, not just as a hobby. I've been working with easy-to-use programs such as RPG maker XP and VX and even now I am working on releasing a visual novel, so I think it's clear that it's not something I came up with just because I played a really good game or just because I think it's easy. I am well aware that it's a hard, long and challenging process, but despite that, I still wanna do it. It would mean a world to me if someone could give me tips how to achieve this goal... What kind of college or university should I try to join? What's the first step towards this? And perhaps if I'm really lucky I could even talk privately with someone working in the video game industry... Being from a small country in EU I have no family or friends who are in this field so I am completely blind. And yes, I am ready to start at the very bottom. Heck, I could even wash toilets as long as there is a chance for a promotion into writing a story line, designing "character's character" and quests. I hope this reaches someone that is willing to assist me and thank you in advance! #career #career-paths #design #video-games #game
How to be game programmer?
I'm interested in becoming a video game programmer and aimed to work at the Square Enix Japan one day. But I don't really know what should I do for my first step. I'm doing Pharmacy course for my Diploma right now and it was the biggest mistake I've ever done. So I planned to finish my diploma study then go for the courses that can make me become a video game programmer. So, what course that I should take in order to be a video game programmer? And also how does the daily life of the video game programmer looks like? Thank you. #programmer #video-game-design #game #video
My current high school doesn't have programming classes ?
I had a plan in my old school to take 2 years of programming but I moved. My new school has no programming classes and I don't want to go into college with no experience in the field. I want to go into the game design field and be a programmer but I am worried that I won't know anything about programming when I go to college. Are there any courses I could take online that would best help me learn the basics? #programming #game-design #game

What are some prerequisites to game design and programming? (i.e. 3d modeling, scripting, etc).
I was just wondering if there were any programs where I could start practicing how to do these things. I have experience with some 3D design and some coding skills in HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python, and a bit of PHP. It would also be nice if someone would recommend to me some sourced game engines for me to play around with. Thank you all. #college #computer #game

What is it like to be a professional game tester?
As anyone who plays video games would be, I was excited by the prospect that playing video games could be a viable career choice. But I don't know if it would be the right career for me, since in the end it sounds like a lot of sitting down. Is it as fun as it sounds initially, does it become boring and draining, or is it more like a "thing to do" for money? #tech #video-games #game #games
How to become a game designer?
First off I'd like to apologize for such a long post. Some info about me; I live in Malta (in the EU) and I am 16 years old. I am currently wondering what to take at A-level and Intermediate level to be able to achieve my dream job. So far I've registered myself for; Art and ICT A-level and; English, Philosophy and Pure Maths Intermediate. If I am not chosen to go this particular school then I shall attend another school which will have a 5 year course which first focuses on art and later focuses on graphic design. My art skills aren't THE BEST and I know naught about programing. ( I am aiming to improve over the choice I shall make now.) Also, If I do choose one of the options, Are there any side things I should do? Read a particular magazine? (My fave right now is ImagineFX) Any help? Thanks! #game #designers
