Most people will think you're autistic and not talk to you.
The rest that know anything about games will know that you probably like it for the art direction more than anythingand that you're autistic.

My advise:
Remember you are there for a piece of paper, and the vast majority of people don't end up in the field they went to college for.
Don't aim to go into the game industry for your first job; unless to get lucky and into a AAA (yes, AAA, you have student loans to pay off once you graduate).
Spend your time working on week-long projects (no longer until you finish a dozen or so).
Make at least one board game, card game, and dice game.
If you are more design focused, practice UI/UX in the games to work on.
If you are more art focused, work on leading other artist to accomplish projects.
If more engineering, make sure all your titles end up on a mobile device or are experimental focusing around one unique mechanic.
Go to conferences in your area that aren't related to gaming.
Read fucking everything you can get your hands on.
Watch Extra Credits on YouTube.
On school projects, kick people off your projects if they miss two deliveries.
Don't ask people to join your project, it should be interesting enough for them to want to help.
Prototype everything.
>Fuck this list could go on forever
Don't give up. Get that paper and get the fuck out.
>>339411019
It's fun enough but the level design isn't very good after Palmtree Panic. The music, art, controls, everything else is great and I love the game but the levels hold it back from being the perfect 2D Sonic.

Be absolutely sure you want to study game design and you won't mind slaving away behind a desk. At an AAA company you won't get to have creative input, you won't get to be Kojima and design games. You can do that if you're an indie but you'll be poor and everything you can learn at college you can learn online for free.

>>339408252

What do game designers think about Wipeout HD?
>>339412735
Yeah I think you should. It's definitely got similar themes to Twin Peaks, though it's not really overt or in your face that Twin Peaks was a big influence.
I think I found the blog post if you're interested. It's very short but it's interesting, as are the comments: http://horror.dreamdawn.com/?p=80
Whole website is very good analysis of horror games if you're into that kind of thing, too.
oh man. i remember taking a game design course. i was kind of a loner and thought maybe i could make friends with similar interests in my last year
no. instead i am subject to the most cringy and obnoxious autists i think ive ever encountered. everyone in there was either silent which i cant really blame there for or a loud add turbo retard
we actually had this prompt on our first day. a lot of "call of duty", "skyrim" and "minecraft".

X-Com: UFO Defense.
I like how it combines tactics and strategy, as well as the overall style, the underdog theme, and just generally the message of struggle, sacrifice, loss, and being continually punched down but rising up despite all that. You don't easily forget losing a top soldier or clutching a victory from almost certain defeat. I also like the way it simulates a lot of complex systems and how everything's really consistent.
My only issue is that it's pretty unintuitive, and that it can get pretty tedious. Also, the battlescape music fucking sucks.

the image in your post is badly drawn. animation is over-saturated and you'll have a hard time finding a job. there's not much point in going to school for art since you can learn most of the material on your own. i suggest you go through loomis' books and stick with your degree in case animation does not work out.

Well with the way my college does it, Pre-Animation gives you the fundamental education and you can choose a path from there.

Dead space.
Not gonna lie, it was one of my favourites.
MGS 3, Timesplitters 2, REmake and Perfect dark being above.
Dead space would just be a game that most people of that era would know and can understand why.
Plus if I were in a design class I'd be doing horror sci fi stuff so yeah.

Can't post pics because the assignment work we did was put under some weird privacy policy meaning we can't share it online.

For what reason would you do this instead of Comp Sci maybe with some sort of graphic design minor or some shit?
I wonder when I'll just stop giving a fuck and tell people that I love Neptunia.

This is why autistic people should stick to cool epic video game design classes or whatnot. You won't find success in any real profession if you're not at least partially a social butterfly.

>>339428216
Nah, it's more to see what the students are capable of. They then keep the assignments and store it for when they're in need of more game design people who didn't drop out.
>>339429239
The reason why they don't let you post any material online is because they don't want people knowing you did it. I will bet most of the stuff in that class makes it into their games after 5 years.

It's based on how far you ran. I don't know how that isn't obvious. There's even parts where the game intentionally gives you just enough running space to activate the sword.

Pulp, the book by Bukowski. All his literature is like a drunken blur, somebody said something and someone cold cocked another but you end up with pretty memorable quotes and life advice. And a few laughs.

He's not obscure at all. I've read like 2 books since graduating high school and I've still heard of Hemingway.

mah nigga
It's still pretty impressive how well the map is laid out (and how literally none of the other CT maps get it right -- not the "Original" map from the DC version, neither the CT2 and 3 maps), it's designed to keep the player moving around while keeping enough leeway to make route planning important, to keep the nav from being confused, and to feel very open while being relatively small. It's got all kind of little nooks and crannies, and passenger loops to get stuck in to make the player realize "shit, I need to rethink my route," it's pretty brilliant.
What's your high score? I've maxed out at 15k on defaults, usually get from $8000 to 10k. I really want to hit $20k, but I need to entirely redo my route if I don't want to stay at the mercy of getting fucked by getting hit/fucking up my crazy dash repeatedly, losing ten whole seconds for no reason.
>>339432718
Not the guy you're replying to, but I've found that aiming for the yellow and green passengers gives me the best route. Doing Crazy Throughs in the freeway also helps boost your fares from passengers. Crazy Drifts and Tailspins also help out a bunch.
I got the Crazy license for the first time yesterday after I started applying more green passengers, drifts, and tailspins while playing.
>>339433732
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I need to cut off on some of the red picks I take. My score quadrupled when I started doing all of those things, but I still do get some time loss here and there.
