IgneousPrime Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Hi Everyone. I'm John, currently 16 and I'm studying here in the Philippines. Yeah, weird country to study in, but hey, whatever works ^^. I'm a first year college student studying at the University of San Carlos. Im taking computer engineering (which is 5 years), and I just wanted to know if a computer engineer would have any use in the gaming industry. I knew that taking this course it would focus mostly on making and doing computers. Howeverm I'm majoring in Software Engineering so I wanted to know if I could get a job as a developer someday. If anyone can give me some tips or whatever, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance :D
merry andrew Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 Yes, that's how consoles and tools and stuff are made. It'll probably make learning high-level languages pretty easy for you, also.

merry andrew Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 read this <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Er, that's about becoming a designer, which sort of a different field.

Yes, it was predominantly about game designers, but there were some good general tips, from a known leader in the industry, specifically giving advice. ... 6. Game development is a very team-oriented process, so we OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
merry andrew Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 I think a pound of that is worth a ton of conjecture and philosophising by those outside

FrankK Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 The sticky about programming should answer most questions about what to do to give yourself a chance at becoming a game programmer.

IgneousPrime Posted July 12, 2005 Author Posted July 12, 2005 Wow, thanks for all of the tips guys! Though, we don't need to be argueing here, hehe. Anyway, do you guys have any more interesting material to look at about Computer Engineering and the game industry? Wish I could hear from a real developer, but I guess it isn't that easy to get a hold of one, haha. Tried searching google, but all I get is useless information and/or information that I've heard of before. Also, I'm worried that my English won't meet up to "Job" standards, especially as a Developer someday. Is there anyway to take advanced online courses on the English subject or something? I've taken 9th grade english, then moved to the Philippines and got bumped all the way to college, so I'm kind of creeped out that I might be missing a lot of things. I know this is a little off topic, but all help is appreciated.
Loof Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Did you miss the big "developer" icon on frankK's post or was his message to short to count?
IgneousPrime Posted July 13, 2005 Author Posted July 13, 2005 There was no "Developer" icon on his post. But there was link that said, "Read This", which I did. I simply asked if there was anymore information to look at. Did you notice that? Or was my post too long for you?
kirottu Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 There was no "Developer" icon on his post. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
merry andrew Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 There was no "Developer" icon on his post. But there was link that said, "Read This", which I did.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> That wasn't a developer post. The developer referred you to the sticky thread in this forum about programming.
