what skills would you recommend before entering this career?? , and which schools would you recommend me the one in Pittsburgh or the ones in California?

[ArtInstitutes]

@rainvillageheroe Our programs are designed to teach you the foundational skills & then build on those skills as you progress through the program, so no experience is necessary. We don't rank our schools, all programs are built to be as close as possible to each other, given the differences in accreditation, state laws, & the needs of local businesses. You can chat w/ one of our reps to further discuss your goals & provide you with more info - just go to aii.edu and select 'chat now'!

I want to do game art & design and I was wondering if you have to have any experience coding, designing or using the programs ?

Hi im really interested in the Game Design Program

Is it recommended you take art classes before ?

Im no master of the drawing but i can put my creativity and ideas on paper

[ArtInstitutes]

@pyro2020 There are drawing classes in many of our programs & as long as you are willing to learn how to draw better then we can teach you. The drawing intensive programs are broken up into drawing & illustration classes (which do require drawing) & design classes which don't necessarily require strong drawing but involve being able to apply type, images, & more to the computer.

They always ask me for a private lender they say i need a co-signer and nobody never wants to co-sign for me... and it hurts me man.. cuz i ve been wanting to do this since i was 18 im 22 i have a degree in liberal arts.. but vid games has always been my passion...

[MyNamesPoli]

So what if your not very good at drawing?

[IIZODIIAC]

every game developer i have asked says you do not need good drawing skills but you need good communication skills, so no you do not need good drawing skills.

I want to do this but i'm not a good drawer. Will this class teach me to help me with that also?

[SpikeDynablox]

@MyNamesPoli Practice Practice Practice. 

[dontsay10]

@gears6515 Since the schools are very expensive. they make you take out certain loans that you will need a co-signer basically somebody that will help you with the loan.

[gears6515]

@dontsay10 co signer what does that mean?

i see you saying "no experience is necessary" but say i dont know what degree i want to get, Art or development. Im only in highschool but i want to get ready, i have ideas for games, have story and a look for the worlds i want to make, however i know i just cant jump into making a game, my math skills are low for coding, and i CAN work on my paper and pencil art if its needed for computer art, but i have a passion and i am willing to do what it takes, do you have any advice of where to look?

[RallySlotUs]

im HOPEFULLY going into this soon!! :))

ive always wanted to game design, but i almost have my associates in science, but i am confused because bidoe game design would not be work for me, it would be a career i would love to do for the rest of my life. How many job openings are there for game design and what classes help with this degree?
