And do college classes start you off as a beginner to game design or do they expect you to have knowledge of how to create or design a game!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: yeah!.!.!. what Nikolas said!. I don't know very much about the game design field, so I can't really answer your question!. I just wanted to add something!.!.!. Maybe you can check this out!? It's a program where you make your own game!. It's made by MIT, I forgot what it stood for (Michigan ___ Technological College or smthg!.!.)!. It's pretty easy to use if you have a desire to make games!.!.!. It's free! So you can just check it out!.!.!. It's not a scam!. There's was a whole (one-time!?) class at my high school devoted to beginner game design, and this was the main tool!. So yeah!.!.!. http://scratch!.mit!.edu/ It might not be like how you would design a game for real (i don't know), but at least you can see how it might be like!.!.!. and have some experience making something functional!. : ) Www@QuestionHome@Com To be a game programmer, you are going to need some serious math skills!. But games are really a collaboration of hundreds of people, each performing a very specific task!. Some do the art work, some focus on the game's story, etc!. So even if you aren't good at math, if you are good at something else, you may yet be able to get into the game design process!. As for the college classes, it would be unfair for them to assume you have game design experience!. But if you are worried, why not get a hold of books on the subject and start educating yourself!? Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com Depends what job you will have!. A programmer or game engineer will definitely need to know this and coding and all those things!.!.!. But if you are the designer than you don't need to know lots of maths!. Just pure imagination and experience!.Www@QuestionHome@Com i would imagine calculus is wanted, hopefully they start u from scratch!. idk!. ill keep an eye on this!. thx for asking it for me!. haha!. try putting this in the games section!. cuz its like cats and dogs with artists and designers in game studios!.Www@QuestionHome@Com you need to know bionary codeWww@QuestionHome@Com |
