Too bad that game didn't do so well =/. It kind of makes me want to think these guys represent most of Devry's stories, since they seemed so dedicated and inspired but with the education they had, it just didn't work out. But I really dont want to assume Devry is a bad school

@bestieswithtesties Making a game is difficult no matter where your education comes from.

[bestieswithtesties]

@theshadowfan Oh, I know. But a lot of my friends make games on pre-made engines like source and unreal 3 and they have no education' but their games are still a lot of fun. The game made by these guys did really bad and they have an education, so it just worries me =/

@bestieswithtesties There's a difference between modding a game and starting from scratch.

@hotshot461 thanks for that im still tossing up whether to go or not

[hotshot461]

@IIZODIIAC no, you just need a basic skill level with computers. the Bachelor's degree comes after you have learned everything you need to know.

[Str8upLaw]

@theshadowfan Exactly! Right. You cannot blame a school for a failed title. and really the title didnt fail. it just didnt have the right marketing. Im pretty sure these guy got picked up by a company after they created that game. Devry goes beyond just teaching you to program. They dont represent most devry stories. Most students are trying to work for a company after school where as these guy thought bigger and created their own company. Epic games were really small wen they started. Jazz Jack

im trying to get into uni and it says on the website, Assumed knowledge: basic computer skill commensurate with a bachelor level of study. Requisites: None. So does this mean that i am required to have a bachelor level of study or is it just preferred?

@theshadowfan I was wondering how can i get my invested money back? i dont want to go to school and ended up where I started, u know what i mean... pls help

[lucasgarbagecan]

Yes Ted Price is the man.

[bestieswithtesties]

@theshadowfan Again, I know. But the only difference is the engine. Their game didn't fail because of the engine, they could have used a pre-made engine and made the same game and it would do the same in the market. And I didn't say anything about modding, modding is modifying what the game gives you into something new. I meant just using the engine' but they still make their own models and write their own code and etc.
