Ngo_Jimmy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hello everyone, I am currently a student at the Art Institute of Orange county in video game programming and I was wondering if you guys have any advice for me? I have played a games obisidian has made before and I found them to be great but not perfect (but still very satisfying to my gaming taste) I am a freshman and just barely started 6 weeks ago and I was wondering if you guys have any advice for a new student? I have heard a lot of about networking and have been trying to meet other professionals and getting business cards like this past Wednesday was pizza with the pros at my school and I met a representative of yours name Jim and he was very helpful. Other than working hard and networking is there any other advice you guys would offer? Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 My advice is to enjoy being a freshman. Don't turn into a networking bastard too soon in life. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Matthew Rorie Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I would ask Jim Rivers for more advice the next time you see him! He's always happy to help, since he's from AI himself. And I think he goes back to AI every once in a while to talk, as well. Apart from that, yes, networking is really important. Jim has a lot of expertise here and I've asked him for anything he has written up. I'll post it when he provides it to me. Matthew Rorie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oner Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm hijacking this thread for 5 minutes: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/v...n-Silent-Hill-2 Interesting read for game devs if I may say so. Now I scram before the cats (haha Pidesco) arrive.
