Re: The Audacity of Game Education
i totally agree with you about schools out there baiting peeps w/glorious promises of game jobs. but at the same time........mcdonalds baits you w/pictures of a perfect burger. then you order it...and it's a turd between buns. it's a business move man, it happens everywhere. i went to a shitbag AI school. i worked my ASS… -
Re: The Audacity of Game Education
If school is what you put into it, and you truly think that, you have no right to blame them for you not getting a job - which you do as you contribute them as a reason for your failure. There are a lot of people not getting an MIT education, but I certainly hope that they don't fool themselves into thinking a throw away… -
Re: The Audacity of Game Education
I'm currently attending Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte NC. If I am not mistaken they were the first Community College in the country to offer the Simulation and Game Development degree. Although I see problems in the program overall I think I am benefiting from it. I say this because of the few fellow… -
Re: The Audacity of Game Education
This is the gripe I have with Arts based courses\degrees in general. In England it costs the same to do a degree in computer game art as it does to do a Physics or Business degree. The latter two will clearly walk you into any job interview, yet your computer games degree isnt worth the paper its written on. Furthermore,… -
Re: The Audacity of Game Education
I think one of the problems with the game design schools popping up is it's fairly new. Besides a few top notch schools.. there's not a lot of basis to understand the quality of the education. I remember being in high school, learning about AI, (The Art Institutes), and was floored someone was actually offering game design… -
Re: The Audacity of Game Education
When did I ever say that I thought that Collins was so amazing. I didn't know Collins was not as good as Full Sail or Digi-Pen. So if you don't get into Princeton University does that mean every other school is crap and you should just stay home and teach yourself. There are a lot of people that won't be getting MIT… -
Re: The Audacity of Game Education
Drav, actually, it is worth the paper it's written on. If anything that piece of paper has saved my ass for immigration, no matter what meaningless education I had to go through for it. I'm not going to pretend to know 'why' game degrees aren't as cut and dry as business or physics or whatever - I just know it's not. Maybe… -
Re: The Audacity of Game Education
One of the other problem I think this highlights is a structural problem with the industry itself. I see it like the the film biz, for every person in the industry with a job theres a thousand waiting in line for work. Being a relatively "young" industry is that theres little if no retirement of the current workforce. With… -
Re: The Audacity of Game Education
Keith: Welcome to the time warp, my friend. Alexander Keith's is a Canadian IPA...it's alright, I guess. Kaze: You are explaining yourself over and over again but you are explaining a hypocritical logic. You DID say you picked the school because of the lower entry requirements or, rather, picked them because other schools… -
Re: The Audacity of Game Education
Hmm, you are missing very simple information and jumping to conclusions. I never, ever, said that it's the best or nothing and that if you aren't good enough, you shouldn't go to school - I'm saying that there are obvious tiers of schools (I can't believe I'm explaining this again to you) and that you shouldn't bitch about…
