Hi I'm a new developer and I will be starting on an amazing project that i will be starting on later 2012 and i would love to chat with anyone that is interested in game development like me
something i realy want to do is get into the game industry. im realy good at story telling, im descent in art and im descent in computers. i just dont know where to start thou. i dont have the full support that i would like to have and in my area theres barely any places to help get into a job like this. my passion for games and getting into this job is unbelievable and games have a massive part in my life. any help?
School, giving you the basic knowledge and motivation/confidence, and then afterwards your on your own and need to go and get to doing things yourself. I guess the only thing scaring most people is the age...
Let me tell you'all: In order to break into game industry, you'll need high grade for either science or art stream in education. If you're on science; you can do programming, if you're on art; you can do graphics. Plus, do not wait for people to hire you, you must do few projects and work on them, and when you look for studios who are looking for talent such as yours, tell them why they need you and you're done :) ~ Advice from me, director/producer of Junnav Productions game developer.
@WeaverLED which is irritating when there are those of us who went to school to do this, and learned on the first day, "just because you can plan video games, does not mean you know how to make games"
Im still in highschool and already programming online games by myself.. How valuable is that for getting hired for the first time / breaking into the industry? I've been programming for 7 years now, I'm top of the class in computer science, I have dozens of past projects, and next year I'm going to college for game programming as well..
Compared to the competition, do I have a reasonable chance to land a job?
@DaFleegsta the only people who have a real edge on the competition are people who already have 5 years experience in the industry. good luck, your gonna need it
What happens if you want to write stories for games? I'm not good with drawing stuff for crap and i have no clue on howd progam but i sure can write something great.
One thing I would like to point out is passion. (0:22). Know where it is directed in video games: Do you love playing the games, or do you love games?
For me, I am almost always drawing, and even before I sleep I am always trying to think of not new ideas, but changes to current ones to make them better and better. I was unlucky, for I didn't actually have a computer and the tools to start making games, but when I did, I almost stopped playing video games(without friends) and began practicing.
@HoSsaMVip1 All American forms of schooling is a waste of you life and time. My friend tried some self education system, Now he is a big publisher and I work for him in the industry
I'm 16 years old, 1,5 year preparing before going to the Game Academy. I really have a passion for games and I try my best to train and train. What the most important part is that I really like modelling, texturing, rigging, so seeing how this object I made comes to life. I know there are lots of people who don't take me too serious, but I will proof to family and friends that I'm capable, and be a much happier man then those who dislike the games industry - Joris.
Look, I really want to join the industry, but I haven't seen one brown person in the industry, and I'm afraid I'll be made fun of because of my skin colour :/
@goodalwaysworks someone high up in bioshock 2's development was a woman but mostly men play games so men are usually better at creating them, atleast in bioshock 2's hardcore gameplay.
I'm just starting in september a bachelors degree in computer games enterprise and that will cover a lot of the aspects of games development that will get you a job in the industry. Three years of your life and you end up with a BSc/BA(Hons) Computer Games Enterprise degree. Happy days :)

What are good programs that I could use to make a video game. Its doesnt have to be top of the line programming but it has to be easy to use cause Im a beginner. Any advice?
@chile0wns You could use: Flash, Scratch, Alice 3d, Dark Basic, you can also make basic to professional level games in game engines such as UDK, Source SDK, Unity 3d and many more, you just gotta find em.
I am indie developer.Its hard for the first time but now I completed game like Legacy Warfare,The Code and Legacy Warfare 3.For now I want to make my first commercial with my teams.
Hey, im from norway and playd games all my life and know if a game is bad and good and stuff like that, but now im 16 years old and want to job with games as level designer or so.... any tips? does making maps for surce games by valve help me getting experience?
@blueyesalexya ....huh? umm...provide a logical explanation for how a set of individuals in the same field can be superior to one another based on where they come from. You're not stating who's better you're stating whose method of game development you prefer.
@Ravengaurd6 well , western mother fucking developers knows only making shooting games WTF ? japanese game developers just are not lazy ...they make the best out of any game , look at namko tekken , look at capcom games , fighting games etc , those are bad ass graphics , westerners know how to make only shooting , why is that ? cuz americans are prepared for army from childhood that's shit , play an adventure game like shadow of colossus or god of war made by japanese , western titles sucks
@Ginteru valve has half life , anyway japan has the best titles , examples :tekken , resident evil , castlevania , lots of fighting games (westerners have only mortal kombat and it sucks bad) , shadow of colossus , ICO , metal slug (tell me any hand drawn western game like metal slug ?) , metal gear , samurai spirits , zelda series and lots of them , western games will never beat japan , god of war sucks balls
Why don't you just shut up and go fapping to your anime porn collection?
It's like betraying your own country, Valve won a shitload of game of the years, while Japan focuses on making games out of the same gender, style and elements by the hundreds.
We have Killzone, Assassin's Creed, Fallout, Starcraft, Mafia, Spore, Lara Croft, Battlefield, Call Of Duty, Halo, Grand Theft Auto, and a lot of other great games I'm failing to mention.
@blueyesalexya I gotta love how you tell people to play a game like GoW the first second but when you realize it was developed by western developers you call it shit.

Practice dude, you can do it! Every skill on the planet can be learned. There's no such thing as natural talent. Everyone in the world who has achieved something achieved it because they wanted to. If you want to do it, do it! Don't let your modesty hold you back.
@Czarewich i need some help, i wanna become a game designer and im 16 right now. i have idea what i have to do to get to that. can some1 plz help me out here
@Distrub122334 Hey sorry, someone marked this as spam so I didn't get a notification that you replied!
If you want to become a game developer, you need to look into the different branches of game development. Then ask yourself an important question, "what exactly is it that I want to do with games?"
If you want to be a creative director, basically the only route is to start your own independent company. If you want to code engines from scratch, you'll want your bachelor's in computer science.
@Czarewich There are many aspects of game design to get into, but if you want to work on big-name games by huge developers, most of those routes will require at least a bachelor's in computer science, or an internship for work experience. The art route is a bit saturated with workers, as is the writing route, but as long as you practice and build an unique and professional portfolio that you're proud of, and you have charisma, you'll be able to go a long way! Also, keep an eye on local projects.
There are always tons of funding programs, grants, incubator companies, and incentives in every city. You'd be surprised how many of them are catered toward film, but apply towards video games too! You should also subscribe to gamasutra, kotaku, and check for city specific services. My province has a website gameonmanitoba, and your city, state, or province might have something similar.
Lastly, don't be afraid to speak about your dreams. You might bump into someone who can help them come true!
@Czarewich wow dude, most inspirational comment on youtube ever. all toher comments i ever read were troll comments but this is some good shit right here. and it's true, there is no such thing as "natural talent".
@Czarewich That's not really true, but practicing doing what you like is vital.
My ability to sing and play guitar didn't stem from practice. Natural talent, it was just there, I just picked it up and did it. I'm mostly self taught, 3 years in music school was just an eye opener for what i really wanted to do.
5 to 7 hours a day i practice, not because i must, but because i like it. And i think that is vital. Finding something that you like doing, even when not working.
i want to go into video game design or maybe programming but i live in toronto. Finding work is probably impossible unless ubisoft or ea open offices here. I love computers and i really want to do what these guys are doing. Something they love.
i absolutely love where video games are headed. No longer is it about countless hours of button mashing,limited social life and boredom! Gaming has now placed a solid footprint in the online world. it has truly flourished into a unique art-form. i now see where i am supposed to be! i have to get my foot in this damn door! lol
well it really depends on which department you are in.Level design,script design,sound design...but you got to start somewhere to climb up the industry ladder.
and you think cliff bleszinki actually was the one who made them changes to GOW2? he's epics creative director and poster boy. nothing to do with how the game plays...
Here's your opportunity to introduce your IP directly to your audience. Create a new game or modify an existing one to accommodate 24 simultaneous players on one screen. You and your team will be first to develop for this new, socially dynamic video game platform!
THE GUY at 2:24 what is this guy saying? he says people on their resumes have worked in 5 games but they dont show for it and he needs people to show what THEY did. does he mean what they did as a mod or a flash game because if u make 5 games its just as much as your game then your co workers
What he means is make sure when you apply for a job in the game industry is that make sure you have a portfolio that shows the work that you have done.
We are living in an abnormal world; pain, pestilence, earthquakes, war & death is not normal.. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. God is a righteous judge and He hates sin. He will throw all workers of iniquity in Hell. Jesus Christ took the full wrath of God that we deserved on the cross and He resurrected. TURN TO GOD BY TRUSTING IN JESUS CHRIST or YOU SHALL DRINK THE FULL WRATH OF GOD ALMIGHTY
ok.... 1st) christianity isnt the only religion in the world. 2nd) what does this have to do with anything. 3rd) get a life bro and stop preaching on youtube all mighty one. i mean, i beleive in God and I am a catholic and all but, seriously
I really want to get into the business and industry of video games and although i dont know how to make flash games or script and stuff like that i really have a drive to learn and do it and i hope that if i can learn i could make a bigger step into getting a job in a company.
If you have the money but don't know where to get started, there's lotsa game design schools like Digipen and Vancouver Film School. But you need to be good at math and stuff, they're quite expensive, and it is VERY hard work. I was thinking maybe when I get out of high school, I could major in marketing or business, or something like that, and minor in courses like computer science, and etcetera to get prepared for the industry. Then I figured I could go to Vancouver Film School.
I am thinking about it, I am a very creative guy but I think I'll be a producer/script writer, I won't be the guy on a big ass rig doing some amazing graphical work because that shit looks annoying.
I am kind of undecided but I want to go to the airforce first, retire early and start the games. I hate multiplayer but I love single player so I will end up making games similar to bioshock. I have some amazing ideas in mind.
I really want to be a video game maker, and I'm learning how to make flash games, but I don't know how to mod and that seems like modding is more of a bigger step to being a video game maker.
ok.......that was pretty much useless advice.....nothing actually concrete like where or what to study, educational resources, an actual plan on how to get in, these guys dont give a shit cause they're already in
@insomnia100 If you're that fucking stupid to need to look for video game development programs from the ign youtube channel, then you will never be able to create games.
It's stubborn little fucking shits like you that don't take the best advice they will ever get in their sad pathetic lives seriously, and end up working in a gas station for the rest of their life. Fucking nigger.
I HATE console gamers, go fuck off back to your dysfunctional consoles in your own world.

@Czarewich There are many aspects of game design to get into, but if you want to work on big-name games by huge developers, most of those routes will require at least a bachelor's in computer science, or an internship for work experience. The art route is a bit saturated with workers, as is the writing route, but as long as you practice and build an unique and professional portfolio that you're proud of, and you have charisma, you'll be able to go a long way! Also, keep an eye on local projects.

There are always tons of funding programs, grants, incubator companies, and incentives in every city. You'd be surprised how many of them are catered toward film, but apply towards video games too! You should also subscribe to gamasutra, kotaku, and check for city specific services. My province has a website gameonmanitoba, and your city, state, or province might have something similar.
Lastly, don't be afraid to speak about your dreams. You might bump into someone who can help them come true!

@Czarewich That's not really true, but practicing doing what you like is vital.
My ability to sing and play guitar didn't stem from practice. Natural talent, it was just there, I just picked it up and did it. I'm mostly self taught, 3 years in music school was just an eye opener for what i really wanted to do.
5 to 7 hours a day i practice, not because i must, but because i like it. And i think that is vital. Finding something that you like doing, even when not working.

Today more people are involevd in making a single game. Now game designers are like brigde designers, its very procedure.
And the old school nerds are no longer appreciated.

We are living in an abnormal world; pain, pestilence, earthquakes, war & death is not normal.. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. God is a righteous judge and He hates sin. He will throw all workers of iniquity in Hell. Jesus Christ took the full wrath of God that we deserved on the cross and He resurrected.

If you have the money but don't know where to get started, there's lotsa game design schools like Digipen and Vancouver Film School. But you need to be good at math and stuff, they're quite expensive, and it is VERY hard work. I was thinking maybe when I get out of high school, I could major in marketing or business, or something like that, and minor in courses like computer science, and etcetera to get prepared for the industry. Then I figured I could go to Vancouver Film School.

I am thinking about it, I am a very creative guy but I think I'll be a producer/script writer, I won't be the guy on a big ass rig doing some amazing graphical work because that shit looks annoying.
I am kind of undecided but I want to go to the airforce first, retire early and start the games. I hate multiplayer but I love single player so I will end up making games similar to bioshock. I have some amazing ideas in mind.
