Game Development as a Career
Hey Guys
I'm thinking about going into game development as my career and I want to learn the programming and the arts and animation so I can be more versatile when looking for a job. I'm currently attending a community college in the Virgin Islands and it doesn't benefit me too much. This semester i'm learning visual basic and I'm planning to drop out by next semester and i'll look for a job. Now the real question is when following my career what should I do? I was thinking about doing online courses for game development, but then i read that you should learn programming and arts separately instead of game development. Aside from that can I do both art and programming online or should I go to a physical college?
I don't know what they teach you on colleges, but I learnt more from the internet than in my school. Before creating a game, you should learn how to program, you have tons of guides in internet about that. In internet you can find anything you want, and if you feel that the college doesn't benefit you, then start studying from the internet. (And I don't think you should drop out from college, but this is already your decission)
