game developing!
I'm gonna be taking a course on 3D modelling & Animation pt.1 at my college for game developing and such. *high-paws*

Ohoho, very nice~!

erf sorry im just tired. Best of luck, but make sure you know exactly what you are doing, what the course offers, where you want to be afterwards, check the quality of the students work and see how many got jobs and/or what they got out of it. The only advantage I found about the course was talking to like minded people, learning how a concept document works and having the equipment to use to make things.

If you have a good computer and can afford the packages, you can learn everything else online and easily find forums of people to discuss game design with. I fully admit the atmosphere was great, being around loads of like minded geeks for a couple of years but barley anyone got anything out of it to my knowledge at the end of the course. Aside from the friends I made I really regret taking my game design course, I just hope you have a better experience.

These courses seem more like cash grabs to attract students who just like videogames. If I could do things again I'd definitely would of spent my money on the equipment and packages of my choosing and found people and learning material online.

My course was a real, overcrowded, understaffed, underequipped shambles, just make sure you really know what your huge student loan is paying for and where you will be after 3 years. Best of luck man.


Also, for animation, always look at the work the final students have produced. I was put off 2 animation courses at 2 different unis after seeing what the final year students had done. Sure, maybe one or 2 okay ones, but 90% were nothing you'd expect from 3 years of education.
