OK, heres the deal. I'm half way through a games design course. What have i learnt? hmm its tough to say. Yeh ok Ive done some 3D work (could have done without paying for uni). Made an unreal level (could have done without paying for uni). I'm seeing a huge problem happening. In a year and a half university is done, the course will be over and will i have employable skills? If the first year and a half are anything to go by... no way.Someone once told me that if your job/ course isnt giving you the skills you need learn them yourself. Maybe Jesus came to me or something but the wind has changed. Community games have inspired me on xbox 360 to build my own game, put a controller in my hands and play it (seriously that gets people jobs and recognition in this industry).
I have decided to learn XNA so when it comes to the end of my course I have a game playable on my xbox 360.
Wish me luck
