become a game designer

This is more of a long-term goal, than a short term for me. I plan on first finishing up high school, and going to college in pursuit of earning a CIT Bachelor’s degree, as well as getting a part time job. I plan on doing this with my own experience that I’ve gotten while in high school (through secondary schooling), as well as learning tricks of both trades along the way. The large time frame that my age gives me (17, as opposed to 34) allows a lot of time to prepare.

Since one month I’m a game designer. I used to be (and I still am) a web designer / graphic designer. A friend of me has his own Game company called Fantazm and now I’m his employee, whoepie! My (our) first project is now online, please check it out and let me know what you thing of it. You maybe even win a Nintendo Wii. http://www.shoppingmania.nl

just because I feel like designing forms of instant gratification doesn’t exculde me from traditional academic pursuit.

If anything becoming a game designer means being familiar with new concepts in gaming, keeping with current market trends than just PLAYING alot of video games.

Sometimes I forget that.

No one deserves anything until they earn it

I am 15 and i need help on finding the perfect web site on how to design a video game.

Ok so I’ve been freaking out about where to go.

I realized.

digipen would never accept me.
Full sail is full of shit
And AI is too expensive

So here’s my conclusion.

I need a real degree in something I love.
Duel major at u of b?

You guessed it

I’ve been looking into legitimate university programs for game desigin~

I think I’ve finally figured out how I’m going to go about this.

There’s a great book called “Game Plan” written by industry professionals on getting into said industry.

I assure you.

TOTALLY worth the read
