I got accepted into a prestige Uni for engineering, but I always wanted to pursue a career in video game designing. I'm stuck, and I'd be going to a 2nd rate Uni for game design as well. Anyone on here with experience making games, coding or anything related to a career in the industry?

TDLR Got once in life time opportunity into good Eng Uni, but dream of going into gaming instead. What should I do /v/?

Just do computer science. You'll learn the majority of stuff you need to know for game design.
That bait image though. CS shouldn't be put next to kinesiology.

I've heard from a ton of different sources, including video game designers, that going to school for game design is a complete waste of time.

Making games sucks shit

You're told what to do, spend a week figuring out how to fix the other underpaid morons on your team's mistakes, cut out shit from the E3 trailer in sneaky ways.

Go for real job engineering shit, where you do similar shit, but with respect and better wages.

Learn2mod some games, like falloutNV, as a hobby to scratch that itch.

Major in engineering and minor in vidya design.
>>
>>253836129
If you take CompSci, don't go in wanting to work in vidya.
My interest in CS started through video games, but I dropped that hope when I looked at how hard it was to get into the industry. OP, just learn how to make vidya by learning yourself/taking other classes. I know way too many people who went into CS wanting to make video games, then quit or failed due to being too focused on vidya. The only guy I know who got through tried to get hired. When he finally found a studio, the pay was pitiful and he left soon afterwards. Now he makes a lot more.
Video games are a shit job to work in, just learn on the side.

Do you want to study really hard then work really hard and make a lot of money

or do you want to study not very much, work insanely hard to make mediocre money and in the end have very little control over the end product so you can't even take pride in your own work.

Game design is a shitty fucking major. Its a fucking scam and you won't be making vidya you'll enjoy. Be a comp sci or stay in Engineering and learn game design on the side since its related to the shit you'll have to master eventually. Don't be a retard.

if your uni has a software engineering degree it's better for getting actual programming knowledge than comp sci is unless you want to work in a research field

make vidya as a hobby in your spare time while being wealthy instead of being a failed game designer who is either homeless or works for EA

you're welcome

>all these faggots who think a real hands-on game design course isn't a beneficial thing

My University has constant projects going on to grade you, working with other disciplines like programming courses and art courses to produce games, to help you learn, and there's also external companies (vidya and non vidya, for instance BP, Sony, UK government) who come in to give you briefs, and you have to report to them each week like a real job, working along to a brief and their changing demands.

There's also loads of funding available to take projects beyond the classroom and maybe even start your own company.

You're all a bunch of bitter faggots.

Double major, or do a double degree over 5 years if your UNI allows it and you can afford it. I did Physics and Comp Sci double major which worked out well after a few years in the industy. I would avoid game design programs as a single major unless your school forces you to take some of the more difficult Comp Sci courses or if you are an extremely disciplined as a self learner. Also start designing games using the tool available right now: IOS, Andriod, XNA, Monogame, Unity. You will be surprised at how much you can accomplish nowadays with those tools and maybe even the amount of money you can make uses them in after a few months.

Funny thing with respect to that picture is that it is true that Comp Sci can be easy if you pick your courses accordingly, but it can also be as hard if not harder than Physics if you take the courses in advanced algorithms, discrete/analysis math, computer automata, and compiler design.

Civil Engineer here, do Computer Engineering, and you'll be able to North write software, firmware, AND design hardware for all aspects of computer science, video games included.

I am a video game designer at a major AAA console developer. I have a degree in computer science and a masters in business.

I worked for 4 years as a programmer and then switched to design. Life is good but let me tell you something: The quality of designers is really, really varied. Some of the designers at my company are amazing and you can tell after a 10 minute conversation with them how fucking good they are at their jobs. Others are gibbering retards who struggle to play the simplest games on the market.

Comp Sci has been a crap shoot for the last 15 years. Try your best at getting some internships, figure out what works for ya and try to land a job with a company you interned with. DBA can be a terminal position that caps out fairly low pay, unless you are an elite consultant. Networking can pay a lot but requires piles of certifications. To do well in terms of money you have to be elite or figure out a way to be self employed.

Any Computer Science majors here who can help an anon out and let me know what the job market / salary's like? Do you like it? Wish you would've majored in something else?

I fucked up and pursued the wrong major for two years and am now switching to CS as a rising junior. It sounds goddamn awful, but it's not really that bad since I have a four-years-renewable full ride, so in the end I'll only be paying one year of tuition (I'd graduate in CS three years from now). However, I'm kinda stuck between switching to CS and an electrical engineering degree - and the difference would mean graduating three years from now, or four years from now (engineering curriculum is STACKED). The time to decide is now. What's /v/'s advice? Any based anons wanna help me out?

Same here

Really doesn't matter if its what you're set on, but CJ isn't bad. I'm doing history because my school doesn't have CJs.

And besides if your state is anything like mine then you learn everything in a 5.5 month academy and during FTO

When I started in 2008, it was much lower than I thought, around 40-50k a year. (in Canada) To do anything you need experience.

Wish I would of became an engineer instead, since in Canada professional engineering associations do a good job of protecting the market and salaries of engineers. Tempted to leave the field and take up a trade since I find the work I do in my job dreadful. (worked for my dad during summers as an HVAC mechanics so I know the earning potential and the workload)
