Turn Your Knowledge into Earnings.
I'm in graduate school for computer science and the department is offering a game design class. This is the only class that is offered by the cs department that has anything to do with games.
I have been focusing on software engineering and computer graphics in my studies so far and have to choose between this game design course and a course that focuses on GPUs and Visualization in a virtual reality environment.
I think both would be fun, but in the long run I want to make games. Either as a hobby or professionally. I feel that I will eventually work for a software company and do game development on the side, after hours, until I was able to support myself doing it.
I've never actually created a game yet. I've just been studying software engineering, graphics, and have read a couple books on game design.
The class is project based. We are put into teams and told to make a prototype with development times of like 2 weeks( first project ), 4 weeks( second project ), and 6 weeks( final project ). I do feel like the class is basically learn on your own with the pressure of a deadline to get you motivated.
Does this sound like a class that would be helpful? Everything I would learn in the other class, which I feel would be advancing my graphics skills, I also want to learn either on my own or in class.
The experience of making a game will be beneficial to your education. However, the class itself isn't necessary to get this experience and will not likely factor much into your hiring potential upon graduation.
Since you've never made a game before, this can be a great learning process, but you don't actually need the classroom context to do it unless you feel you won't be motivated enough otherwise (in which case you may need to seriously rethink your choice of career). In fact, because of your relative inexperience with that process you may find yourself at a disadvantage to your peers, resulting in your struggling in the class.
My advice is to take the non-project course and start trying to make a simple game or two on your own as an extra-curricular activity. This will get you some experience with the task of actually building and completing games, which will make you feel more comfortable when you eventually work in a team environment to do so (either later as part of a different class, or as another independent study type of project). It will also be something you can refer to upon graduation, while you're looking for jobs, and say "I did this on my own because it interested me," and that's usually a interesting point for employers.
No matter what stage you're at in your education or career, TuteeHub will help you reach the next level that you're aiming for. Simply,Choose a subject/topic and get started in self-paced practice sessions to improve your knowledge and scores.
