Subject: How

It all depends on what area of game production you want to work in.

Story/universe stuff -- College/university -- Get a degree in English and get some work published.

Programming -- College/university

Art -- College/university

Audio -- College/university

Design -- College/university

The above methods are stated as a possible route to help you get into the industry. But they are by no means a dead cert.

Most colleges in the US offer recognised qualifications in the above disciplines, but the UK isn't as fortunate. Though We are cathing up.

Sometimes starting back from square one does good...

Ask smart questions

The most pessimistic video ever made. I could make at least ten like this describing how each industry is strictly business, but when people love their job and know what they are doing, the industry doesn't matter.

I find you rather shallow and pedantic.

One does not simply enter the gaming industry.

That video was laughably awful, for countless reasons. All it really boiled down to was the person who made the video sitting on his high horse and belittling stereotypical morons rather than providing any sort of useful information for people who have an earnest desire to work in the industry and already understand the basic limitations and barriers of doing so.

Hello community, If you have any questions or concerns then please feel free to ask, whatever it may be and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge/ability. (It may not be THE answer you're looking for but AN answer is better than NO answer.)

KEEP CALM AND PLAY XBOX
Thank you.

Never underestimate the power of the Radio Shack. That's where I purchase my MS points and Membership cards for the same decent price they were before that stupid Kinect crap came out. I'll gladly pay $19.99 + tax over 25 bucks any day.

OP. It all starts with getting picked on in grade school, then rising above everyone else and rubbing it in their faces when you buy their local fast-food chain and fire their ass!

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

try the flood forum...

Dude... You sent him to the Flood? They will eat him alive.

I hope you end up lost in a city someday, and end up asking someone for directions who is as sarcastic as you are.


I am mad that you do not trust the floods abilities, we are not all bad.

I'm working on getting into the gaming industry. Start early by actually developing a game, if you know how.
