Shadow Fire Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 So, I've been working a lot lately, but I decided to enrol in a college course, which I start at the end of this month. Once I start it, I'm going to be extraordinarily busy. Not saying I won't have time for this place, because... well, I own it. Me. Myself. Ahem. Anyway, the course I have enrolled in is Diploma of Digital and Interactive Games. Basically, I'm gonna be learning how to make games. Here is the rundown of the course: With the Diploma of Digital and Interactive Games, you will develop the skills and knowledge to work in a variety of areas within the digital and interactive games industry. You will get the opportunity to develop the design, graphic/digital media and programming skills required in the development of digital games projects, either as a small independent specialist or as part of a larger team. You will also be learning to work in the Unreal Development Kit used to make leading games such as Batman Arkham City, Borderlands 2 and Dishonoured. Course Details The Diploma of Digital and Interactive Games is a 18 month course consisting of 16 units of study that are broken up into 4 major clusters of learning. You’ll learn… Design and build great games Create 3-D game characters Develop interactive 3-D environments Construct a digital animation sequence Develop games for mobile devices Create 3-D digital effects including particles,fluids and bodies Career opportunities: 2D/3D Artist Animator Games designer/developer Interactive digital media developer Mobile games designer/developer Students on this course will be supplied with a 17″ Alienware gaming laptop. So, yeah. Just wanted to give you guys a heads-up. Who knows? I may end up working for Nintendo after all. =P 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Fire Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Approx $22,000, but I don't pay anything until I earn more than $51,000 a year. I love these student loan things. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airikita Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Cool, sounds like fun. Sadly I've lost myself on game design, but if I do make a game it's going to be on my own terms, and not as a career path. The course does sound promising, so good luck to ya!
