RE: The Best Day So Far | A Potential Career Choice? - My Civil Service #13
Oh, I'm considering going to university to learn to be a youth social worker but for now I'm thinking more of learning IT instead / first, then video game design and creation.
Video games sound cool, but I wouldn't have the patience with all the code. But designing graphics isn't about coding, right?
Well, I'm not a 100% sure about designers not having to code.
Quick Googling reveals there are two types of designers for games: game designers and graphic designers who just focus on games. Game designers have their word in pretty much everything about the game they're working on (and, I guess, they kind of have to code if they want their design to work without having to wait for developers to code their parts), while graphic designers focusing on games rather design logos and things that don't impact the gaming experience itself that much).
Yet again, I might be wrong.
The Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences (a private institution / university-like thing) has ''Game Design and Developement'' as one of their degrees. You can get more information about it here. Ofcourse, as it's a private university, it's not free, so I'm not sure I'm actually able to study there... I'm going to change my occupation as soon as I get off my maternal leave, to something that pays more... then I'm going to try learning IT in a vocational school first.
