[GamerFollower]

Why didn't I find this when I was a year younger...

[CAPITANFREAKY]

[SFlaidlaw101]

[Whinestee]

Wish I wasn't screwing around when I was in my teens! 

[peggyninja]

[nelsoncards]

i could totally do this. atleast i would want to. hell ive used autocad inventor for over 5years.

[lexie2795]

im so glad my school has a program to teach us this stuff next year

[trainmasterxxx]

What do i have to be good at to do game design? do i have to be a great drawer because i cant sketch worth a heck. but i am very creative. and do i have to be a really great at math?

[DarkSmokeNinja]

These video game designing camps are great but I heard that they cost like 3, 4, or 5,000 bucks for like a month or 2. Thats too much for my budget. but I really want to learn more about this game designing stuff.

[idtechcamps]

@DarkSmokeNinja - Our camps start at under $800/per week. We hold them during the summer when school is on summer break. Check out our website for full details: internaldrive[dot]com

[predatortheme]

but these are 3000 dollar for 1 week? how do you want to teach modeling to someone by 1 week? thats impossible guys

[linkfan22]

@predatortheme It's $800 a week not $3,000. Believe me though, they can teach modeling in a week. I went to iD Tech.

[Joracall]

how much does it cost to get in and where is it located?

[idtechcamps]

@Joracall - you can find all the details on our website. internaldrivedotcom

[minidude154]

[jlopez0o]

[TheRealAuxiliary]

[killerofu12]

For the summer camp, I was wondering.... what are the hours and how much does the coarse cost for the summer camp

[idtechcamps]

You're in luck! We actually have a location at Macalester College in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area of Minnesota! You can check out all the courses we offer there by visiting our website and clicking on locations! Hope to see you at camp!!!

[jess3336677]

@idtechcamps really?! i live right by minneapolis! but i went to your website and clicked on locations, it wasnt listed. should i try going to macalester college website? im not sure where i should go to find the information

[DimsMUXAXA]

hoow hard is it to get into the camp? do u need any grades or SAT?

[idtechcamps]

It's not hard at all! As long as you are between the age of 7-17 you can attend! We even have 2 week teen academies for students 13-18!! Even with no experience at all, we can teach you how to create your very own video game from scratch! You can check out all of our courses by visiting our website!!!

[DimsMUXAXA]

@idtechcamps I want to be a game desogner and i need a nice place to graduate in. do you give a certificate or something by the end of the course?

[idtechcamps]

@DimsMUXAXA - We do give out diplomas at the end of each camp week.

[Salien1999]

@idtechcamps Wait... 7-17? I thought it was 14-18. By the way... Oklahoma please!

[aaron4855]

@idtechcamps  so how much is it to get into this camp, because i have 3 years of school left and i think i want to be a game designer, but i want to know if game designing is a good career.

[cowmasterbob]

im working on an fps right now, it is an indie one. I had to restart the process of making it a couple times.....

[cowmasterbob]

im working on an fps right now, it is an indie one. I had to restart the process of making it a couple times.....

[Rcinch1]

Where was this school 10 years ago when I was 17?

Damn! Oh well, I am studying art/animation in college now anyways.

I hope to be a game designer someday. This school looks pretty good for a summer camp.

Like I said, I wish they had it when I was a teenager.

[TMA2]

all these game design commercials show modeling, animation and beta testing exclusively, if that. there's a lot more involved in the umbrella term of 'game design.'

[toepsaspore]

too bad it isnt in holland

[foodoo567]

Can't wait to get older.I really want to do that.I have tried actually programing when I was ten and I could only make a matrix that was stuck on the top of the screen instead of the bottom.

[Slimshadymax]

Wow, I'd love for this in Austin Texas!This'll teach you almost everything, if not everything to pursue your career in game design.If I find the money to attend i'm sure to do so.I work with 3D Studio Max I work with all Adobe Products I have experience from all genres of games and their engines. This could also be a great step to learn some connections! I'm 15 and a dedicated learner Using Source SDK as well. extending my creativity learning from others enchancing math,english and leadership!!!

[opp861]

Leadership?

[xtrixsterx]

Put 1 in the uk please!

[idtechcamps]

Keep our website bookmarked! You never know where we'll show up next! This year we added Canada to our locations list! BTW - We do have students from the UK that attend iD Tech Camps, so traveling from abroad to attend our program isn't out of the question!

[jackpwnage117]

@idtechcamps Hey, I live in Miami and I'm attending in the rpg game designer course for one week at University of Miami, I have a few questions, one do you only do character modeling in the first week? because then it would be kind of boring but also is it hard? And can you download the software at home?

[Wowp17]

lol

"Game on!" reminds me of yu-gi-oh

[Wowp17]

looks cool

[bammargerafantonyhaw]

i might go there..........for the summer and i wanna go really bad

[bammargerafantonyhaw]

how old do u have to be to go there?

[50ChrisG50]

i want to go there can someone plz tell me eveything about this place and if any requirements

[dakillermang]

Do they make action adventure games because when i went on the website it , and said first person shooter, role playing game, arcade, and platform.

[cjrocks49]

Lolz going there in two years >:D

[BohemianBlasphemy]

Oh, Video Game Design and Creation Summer Camp... You got me at "games are serious business".

[0nemest0]

I went last summer 3rd session Maya

[tyfra95]

how was it? im really interested in game and animation developement, but there jack shit at all for me to learn. cant find many places available for me...

[KnuckleAndSlider]

do they teach and c/c++ ?

[wadehjb]

If you can truly learn Maya and Photoshop in a few weeks, it's worth the money.

[duckcluck123]

I'm going there in 2 years (when i'm 16)

[EarthsSupremeRuler]

Im going there in 8 days wewt^^

[theMODof]

is there a camp in FL

[zaqzi95]

Clickteam Multimedia Fusion Version 2 like they said in the description >.>

[Xylogeist]

Im going my 5th year this year.

[cjrocks49]

You must know alought video games lolz

[UnreconizedPro]

Which programm they use?

[Salien1999]

Autodesk Maya.

A Painting Program Liek Photoshop.

And Any Game Engine.

Hope This Helped.These Programs Aren't Free, But The Game Engine Might, it matters which you choose.

[KobrasClan]

yeah i was wanting to make some sort of game like san andreas, saints row 2 ,

etc... but where to start :S

not got a clue

[ArcangelZero7]

This is actually a VERY cool place. I went there in my young teens and it is a really good place to get exposed to the trade. The programs are streamlined, it's not like attending college, but for younger people this is a fun way to delve into the art of game design. When I attended for two weeks, I made a small (very flawed lol) FPS game level with Conitech 3d Game Studio. Did no modeling or programming. We just used existing meshes in the engine. It got me hooked on development though! :)

[Gilb604]

where is it

[DonJusty]

I have a boner for this place, I so want to go. but unfortunately I live in Denmark where nothing ever happens on the gaming front

[thefunkybuda]

LMFAOO omg i lol'ed so hard at that first sentence

[chrish146]

I have one question?how old do you have to be to go there and learn i am very interesten in making an online 3d role playing game i am 13 and i would like to go there

[COHneger]

:/ I dont think they use top things... Only think about how much the certification for then Cryengine costs... Pleas don t think that Halo, BF, MoH... are all using the best stuf ^^

Still this champ gives a little "Introduction" =)

Nice vid thou

[angello016]

I think sixteen is enough

[gytiw79]

guys game making is not so easy especially when you are making 3D games and you try make something like halo u would need 20 ppl or more, the most hardest part is scripting and animating you need serious platforms engines etc. not like trash stuff to game maker and walla just google "how to make 3D games tutorial" and make about 10 ppl group for beginning

[OGMO11]

you forgot the fact that modelling isnt an easy thing too!

[gamedesignerforever]

It is really tough making games but once your done a warm feeling comes over you its a great feeling! The instructors here are really cool and will help you.

[saijeehiguchi]

Making a 3D game is easy as saying "I'm going to make a 3D game"

But it just takes a good amount of time, about 2 to 2.5 years to make a good one, and many people just are not patient enough to do it alone.

I am a 1-person team working on the next greatest independent-game. I'm making it in a Japanese style of game design, because I like it better that way.

[Pateraak1423]

he's right, to make a game like halo you would need 20 people, BUT your not making the next halo, your not buungie! And 10 people is a tad excessive! for a simple FPS you only need about 3 people!

[gamedesignerforever]

Wow I just love this place!! If anyone is thinking about going here GO! You will not regret it!

[Kalimdor671]

i know its so awesome

[Wolsk]

Which course is this one? I want to go to it this year.

[amcadam26]

"We take the Nintendo Wii for a spin for HARDCORE gaming tornaments". ROFL. Yes, I'm sure the Wii games they have are very hard core, especially since they're all writing FPS games, what Wii FPS's are they having these tornaments on?

[tingles03]

lol thats EXACTLY what i was thinking when i first heard him say that

[amcadam26]

Does that mean they have to work 90 hours a week and never leave the building like at EA ???

You know you can do all this for free in your spare time. It just takes time and effort.

[LocoRoboProductions]

it probably takes a frick load of money as well.

[ArcangelZero7]

It's like $1000.00 for 2 weeks. Yes. Pricey :(

[marcopchen]

they can leave for 45 minutes a week

[izzdirune90]

can u make weapons

[soccer404]

i am dying to do this kinda stuff

[JakeTG14]

You and me both dude.

[PimpinAintEaslyDone]

what subjects do u need for this , i kno u need art but would u need maths

[djollyboy]

you need alot of math-like really alot because things like how fast things moves has to be set using velocity etc and angles

[bklyn390]

To answer your question bro it depends on what you like as for what u just saw in the video they show art and motion animation they diffrent jobs with game design if you like like to draw or even suck at drawing but like art then 3D modoling would be good for you you can design pple areas equiment and just about anything tht pops in ur head but if ur more into the math then you would want to go for programming really intense stuff iam a 3D modoller and animator at my college.

[peteftwomg]

can u get agame design job where your like an ideas person? or a story line person or something that doesnt involve maths or art?

[ArcangelZero7]

It is a team effort. Your ideas may be used in your team's project, but to be team-leader, you must prove you know about EVERYONE's job and have good management skills. You can learn math or Arts, it simply depends what you naturally wish to do. The shiny graphics or the behind-the-scenes mechanics? I'm personally striving for both, even though I'm HORRIBLE with math and programming, I need to know at least a little bit of it if I want to get anywhere. Don't limit yourself! :)

[AceFlare983]

this place is expensive. its like 2,999$ or the the two week and 3,999$ for the three week. if it costs that much then it must be a REALLY good camp. i better start saving up lol

[Mystl]

what program are they using ? can some one tell me?

[masterman321]

maya,3d max studio,Looks like they're using torque and unreal ed. thats about it

[despondencyreliance]

[SkatingDude1]

[duckcluck123]

[duckcluck123]

you can go cause your 13 years old. :)

[AndyGoRAWR]

Looks fun, I'm working on a 3D game engine when i have free time and it is fun, but I would never imagine it as a job. It's a lot of work to make a successful game. It's fun though.

[jinxar1]

This looks awsome

[FeltDownHard]

Wow they get classes from a guy from Blizzard AWESOME!!!

[herico33]

Anyone have an idea where this is and how much it costs?

[0Juco0]

~3000 per 2 week stay, according to the website. yikes

[StarWarsGataradeRain]

Game Programmers? BS. I've heard of this crap before. Here's the steps to create a *REAL* game. Learn C++, Learn Win32, Learn DirectX, CODE, CODE, CODE!!! Well... that's if you want to create your own engine. First buy Beginning C++ game programming(teaches C++), then buy Programming Windows, then by Beginning 3D game programming with DirectX 9.0. Code Away.

[sigutis123]

yeah then models,maps appear from nowhere...

[MuggyFuzzball]

NOOOO I'm too old!!!

[BurningVictory]

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

[vash47]

[Jasmira]

this is exactly what i wanna do after i graduate.. it would be so cool to make my own game :P i play world of warcraft now and it would be cool to have a game similar to that but alot better :P

[MuggyFuzzball]

after you graduate, youll be too old to enter this program. Oh and for the other comment...Collins College is authentic, they are just desperate trying to make you think you are getting payed to play games, not work.

[Baseman24]

This looks like a good place.

And the commercial is better than others *cough* Collin and Westwood *cough*. This seems to be authentic.

[teenekaasjes]

i want to be game designer and this is a good video for it nice video dude

[Monsterised]

Hello I'm 14, I live in Scotland, I'm extremely intrested in game development .. although I really need to get started which program should I download ? Please help me... If you have xbox live add me Steathdude07 (And no I aint spelled the name wrong :P )

[f4earsenal4e]

i recommend using autoCAD :D

[Weems316]

I'd love to see this in the UK because someday i want to do that

[heartnotsubasa]

Excuse me.. Which one do you think is better, 3ds Max or Maya or some other software?

[jkewlo]

maya 1000times

[spider853]

[BigBuddie504]

Great video! is there 1 in Louisiana? Im very intrested n this

[asdasd513]

what is that software?

[PiotrTarasov]

maya rules!

[PiotrTarasov]

too expensive, i bet you can do better if you learn things on you own, all you need is motivation.. plus, internet is something anyone can use to download apps and tuts, no_one stands in your way of knowing more..

[oceanbreeze2012]

How long does the camp go on for and how much does it cost?

[Heliman234]

is there one in maryland

[mman36]

Is programming or model making experience necessary? So far I use GameMaker and GML, with 2d sprites.

[idtechcamps]

Not required, but would be helpful to know.
