I've been an MMO game designer, so this one interested me. Pretty much spot-on, and these guys look like they had a pretty good handle on things. Checked some reviews and the game got pretty good marks (and is still available as a free MMO!), so well done!
This is very true, I'm 27 and I just recently got accepted into The Art Institute Game Art and Design program and I LOVE IT!! I always tell people its never too late to do what you love. I have several people in my class that are in their late 20's, 30's, and even in their 40's doing a complete career change. Always do what you love its never too late my friends.
+tsp gaming hey you wanna join me into making a game i already have one guy who teamed up.....but dont worry if you dont know programming us too dont know either but we can handle it ..by the way you will have to be AROUND THE AGE of 15+ ....if you are interested text me on skype via matthew white
mostly they use C++ or sometimes java or C for computer programming for games. Writing games engine is considered to be very difficult programming and only with gifted minds are usually able to do it. It is much difficult than the banking programs or say software of your average supermart e.g. walmart or say software that calculate empolyee's salary.
Sounds like the name of a game that would sit on the $5 game shelf at your local Walmart and you'll still see it there in ten years time all beaten up, shrink wrap ripped or completely off with about 10 marked down price stickers on it. Haha, had to watch this for a school paper. Poor guy, at least he's not the one who 's money is in the hole.
I actully have my own indie game studio and i am working on an IOS game i also worked on a f2p first person shooter which will be released this year. And just to tell other people, i never said i just watched youtube and i became a level designer, i read tons of books, educated myself, motivational, goal achieving books, all sorts of stuff i have full cabins of books.
Actually from lots of places, youtube is full of tutorials, digitaltutors, eat3d all lovely places. But the most that i learned from is by working, giving myself challanges that are out of my comfort level, thats the only way to improve. Also i learned a lot from working in indie teams.
Mathematics and programming are the basis for all games. Your knowledge and capability in these subjects will determine the limits of what you can design.
the best thing to do is to start as early as possible maybe doing some type of art and digital animation, plenty of math and of course computer classes, art colleges are good for getting into game design
I used to go to school with this guy. We were best buddies. We were the "piggy back" champions of the playground, lol. When we went to senior school, we sat next to each other and looked down the biology teacher's top.
Actually i do not lack formal education i am an electronic engineer i just don't have a degree in game dev field. All i have said is that you don't need college you can work without it. Its all a matter of choice if you aren't going to learn anything and just waste time at some college then you are better of doing it all alone and if you can't work alone then you are better of with a college degree.
@ApollosInsight Game companies need programmers to design engines for them. its called Game programmer. you develop how the engine runs on the game while the designers create the world and characters
Yeah, judging by the class list, it doesn't look like I'd spend much time learning to program. I'm still on the fence between VGP and Game Art and Design. I'm sure there's plenty of opportunities with both. Thanks for the reply!
OMG game designer is my dream job... its been my dream job since i was 12 i meen the consept of creating your own world and being able to share that world with people around the world... what an amazing thought im going to college next year and i cant wait *.*
I kind of agree with you though i may be one of those people. I don't think it was because Im stubborn that college wasn't working for me. Its just that any course is always going to be set at one pace, and my personal pace never matched up. In my tech classes I was always weeks ahead of my class mates. That makes it very difficult to take anything away from the class, or stay focused. So while I am in a class room waiting for others to catch up, I could be on my own time advancing MY skills.
Learning to make a game instead of watching how a game designer lives. I recommend downloading Construct 2 or Game Maker. They're very simple to use for beginners and they also have the capabilities to make some really great games if you have the drive and patience to see it through. Start small, don't expect to make a game like Skyrim or anything close to that in scale or quality. The first game I made on construct 2 was a brick breaker game, then I made a ninja platformer.
Actually mate i never had any problems with English language i had always been at the top of my class. Yeah i do realize i had made a million mistakes in that post but i don't know what happened it must have been really late when i had posted the comment. If you read through my channel or my other posts you would realize i have a firm grasp on English even though it is my secondary language.
When I say to people that Im doing this at university they pull the face and think im a nerd or something. Well I just tell them I would rather be stuck working in something I love doing and wont get bored of for the next 40-50 years than what they will probably be doing and not enjoying their job.
Well... he is a designer. He comes up with ideas and makes sure people do their jobs, give input and stuff. He doesn't have to do the programming or animations. I'm sure he gets payed well, but mostly it's just like any other kind of managerial position.
game developing is an art, for me. it is one of the most extensive computer engineering fields. BUT you should know that, for a good programmer, who loves programming... it is important to know, how a hardware works, what software is doing in hardware. in other words: you first should learn what hardware programming is, before you enter the software domain. because then you know how your software work FROM THE GROUND UP, and not from the abstractions that have been made in the runtimes.
@ArchitectOfEvil "though you wouldn't want to write a whole program like that." nope^^. that is why C++ exists. just an abstraction of assambling. and that is a important step. C++ and further abstractions dont make it only easier for the programmer, but this easiness allows for more complex programms. Someone did the hard work and translated "Hardware-language" (which at the beginning started with simple e-circuits) into complex abstractions which we call object-oriented programming.
I've always wanted to become a game designer. I am going to collage and studying game design then I am planning to go to university to do 3D Animation, it's a dream job.
@MorbidWinter and Todd Howard has to be one of the leading designers today as he heads Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and the Doom series now too? I don't think any other company has rights to 3 masterpiece franchises like Bethesda; however, remember that Howard didn't even become lead until Elder Scrolls: Morrowind; he started as a team member and worked up the ladder.
I am 17 turning 18, and I have went from so many ideas to what I want to become, First a chef then maybe a graphic designer and i'm slowly going to gaming design, I want to know what colleges would be best for me
I'm looking into that program (well leaning towards the Programming counterpart) my only major hesitation is the cost of the school and job outlook after you graduate. The school looks/sounds amazing... my wife is a big skeptic though :(
@rune10164 I would recommend start learning , any c language ( C , C++ , C# ) Since this is what the mayor video game companies use, since its really really almost meant for video games, really objective based too , its never to late to start
I'm not sure in what you want to do exactly but if you want to do programming there are better schools. The Art Institute focuses more on the animations, level design, and rendering more than programming. I do have programming classes but no where near enough for me to grasp and create my own coding for a game. I want to be a level designer so it is why I chose this school. The tuition is very expensive and your last year you will be interning for a company so don't worry about jobs.
Go to uni, get a degree. (Personally I'm @ Stafford uni in the UK and could highly recommend study there) Remember that there are 2 sides to Game development, Design and programming. Design being anything from game art and assets to designing game mechanics to sound design. Programming being sitting at a computer being a code monkey (you can tell which side I choose :P, and no offense to any programmers, you know we love you really).
which subject should we choose to learn though, Computer games design which someone told me isn't held to reagrd compared to computer science students. I was thinking of portable games design eith any of those tand then learn computer games development afterwards.
Ive always wanted to be a game/graphic designer of some sort but I don't know, I find my self enjoying the games more than drawing... I don't know and I'm 17 right now so I got to get on the ball and a MMO Football game does sound interesting...
Unity is a good program interface for making games for many platforms, but it is expensive if you want to have all of the pro things from the unity site. The are also user made stuff. There is also a trial and free version. I'm still trying to get used to it myself. It is not entirely one for those that want to have nothing to do with programming. There are other game making interfaces like UnrealEngine, Game Maker, etc. The amount of programming you actually need depends on the interface.
You're supposed to work for it, you're not going to learn just by sitting and listening to the teachers. They guide you down a path, but you must follow through on your own. This is the issue with people like you. When I went to college I learned a great deal, my stubborn friends didn't, and so they blamed the school and teachers.
try looking at the Princeton college guide and look at their school list i cant recall which but there are some that are under that not by much but like 60k tuition and supplies included also this industry doesn't truly require a degree you just need the programming knowledge, some creativity and passion for games and you can make it on the other hand its easier to learn it if you go to a college that specializes in it.
Im 14 and i do HTML, Bit of Photoshop and After Effects. Gonna start with C and then OPP C++ Language soon. Being a game Programmer has been my dream job from my age 5 up till now 14. Too bad singapore dont really have much games companies.
Dude, its all about what you do for yourself. A college degree is important, don't get me wrong; but, what gaming studios are looking for is a passion in gaming and the ability to learn and develop things on your own.
well, I live in Israel and the tuition to study at the technion (the Israeli institute of technology, our finest university) stands at around 2500-3000$ a year and it has the 18th best computer science faculty in the world (which makes it the best computer science faculty outside UK\US, according to the shanghai university ranking list) and is ranked 78th overall (despite having 4 Nobel laureates the last decade) so it's really just a matter of where you live and who you are if you ask me...
I dunno actually, I not really a fan of footie games at all; but the idea of playing an online match where each player is controlled by a human player sounds pretty interesting.
@ArchitectOfEvil 1. yes, it is not necessary in general, but it is interesting. 2. no, no drivers,drivers are way mor advanced than basic hardware programming. 3. Assambling Language, and yes, I learnd that first (I started with microcontrollers in assambler, for instance)
I will once you try to write a whole sentence without swearing. Shows much about your age. I told him to research it so he won't be completely clueless as to what he wants to work at. Coming unprepared for this can crush a person, and it's about time you people wake up from those silly dreams. Game Design can be incredibly fun and a great job to have, if you have ALOT of passion for it. Not for playing games, but for making them. Because it's hard as hell and if can't take it, don't start.
Im doing a course right now on games development (3d modelling and animation), i didnt have to pay a thing, just need to have the right grades :) so just put in effort and in the uk you dont pay anything
@MomoShow9 hey! i know this is kind of a late reply. But of course you can lean it at that age. People here in the U.K go to university and do Computer games Programming where they learn that before the age of 20.
Learn a programming language. I suggest C++ because it is industry standard. Once you are competent with the language learn an API such as directx opengl ect. This will allow you to create programs with graphics.
This video goes especially to people whining that they are TOO old to get into the games industry!....IT IS NEVER LATE!...The guy was in his late 20's when he decided to study CS!
Cees Timmerman I get that and according to the video title it makes sense.. (my bad, really).. I just dislike it when these types of people usually get most of the attention while the ones working in the background get barely any while being the main driving force behind it.. but that seems to be a problem everywhere and not just in the magic IT land..
takashy87 John D. Carmack co-founded Id Software, and Stephan Gary "Steve" Wozniak co-founded Apple Inc. They developed groundbreaking stuff on their own. What novelty have the programmers on this MMORPG created?
Cees Timmerman same could be said about this designer in the video... I simply appreciate it when people are credited for their work, that's all.. Carmack and Wozniak are great people, no doubt about that and I'm sure that there are people who don't care if they get any credit or not, but things wouldn't be the same without their efforts no matter how large or small they are.. After all it's a group effort so the least you can do is give them some credit,. It would take ages for one guy to do the amount of work that all of them combined do, so why not give them the credit they deserve?
takashy87 The programmers on this game are likely using 3rd party libraries that contain most of the difficult bits. Would the creators of those libraries, their hardware producers, moms, etc. all need to be in the credits?
I like how in the beginning he touches his nose when he says it's a dream job. Don't think he truly believes that.
he looks depressed and seems to lead a repetitive, bland lifestyle.
I've been an MMO game designer, so this one interested me. Pretty much spot-on, and these guys look like they had a pretty good handle on things. Checked some reviews and the game got pretty good marks (and is still available as a free MMO!), so well done!

I'm into Game Design and I always will stick with it. No matter how long the work may be, it's still worth it to see your work come to life.
im looking to going into video game design
+tsp gaming hey you wanna join me into making a game i already have one guy who teamed up.....but dont worry if you dont know programming us too dont know either but we can handle it ..by the way you will have to be AROUND THE AGE of 15+ ....if you are interested text me on skype via matthew white
TELL ME YOUR EXPEIRENCE BRO
I went online to check what course I got yesterday. What a shock when I got computing-games development! I'm really looking forward to it!
mostly they use C++ or sometimes java or C for computer programming for games.

Steve Bennett, you ruined my life. Got me addicted to a game that I love only to leave it in the wrong hands!
they also help you get connected to someone that can potentionally hire you with a full time job depending on the school
Actually from lots of places, youtube is full of tutorials, digitaltutors, eat3d all lovely places. But the most that i learned from is by working, giving myself challanges that are out of my comfort level, thats the only way to improve. Also i learned a lot from working in indie teams.
here in Ireland all we have to pay is around 2000-3000 per year :L
in fact the most they can charge you is 9k per year
Russel Brand makes games?
Mathematics and programming are the basis for all games. Your knowledge and capability in these subjects will determine the limits of what you can design.
Game designers are basically the "Idea guy", I'd never give up a programming position for that.
the best thing to do is to start as early as possible maybe doing some type of art and digital animation, plenty of math and of course computer classes, art colleges are good for getting into game design
I know i made a few mistakes, that is because my keyboard got messed up. But i know English very well actually, even though it is my second language.
I used to go to school with this guy. We were best buddies. We were the "piggy back" champions of the playground, lol.
When we went to senior school, we sat next to each other and looked down the biology teacher's top.
I not a game designer yet but I am working towards it right now. I have a forum setup to discuss game design!
Actually i do not lack formal education i am an electronic engineer i just don't have a degree in game dev field. All i have said is that you don't need college you can work without it. Its all a matter of choice if you aren't going to learn anything and just waste time at some college then you are better of doing it all alone and if you can't work alone then you are better of with a college degree.
It seems as if you guys just have a passion for football itself but you guys are still very inspiring to me. Keep up the good work =D
@ApollosInsight Game companies need programmers to design engines for them. its called Game programmer. you develop how the engine runs on the game while the designers create the world and characters

good luck!, i hope you make it in the industry, its my abition to establish myself as a game concept artist, perhaps one day i will work for you :)
@MomoShow9 That stuff is pretty easy to learn at any age. A language is just a way of telling a machine what to do.
@ArchitectOfEvil

Nice... I was merely noting the irony of your statement in the way it was stated; an argument against formal education with many mistakes.
Wow. Incredibly amazing.
Great video!

There is a difference between playing games all day and testing the game to perfect it. As a game designer, that's 50% of what you do all day.
They must not have included english in those tutorials. Did you miss the part where he said how important communication is at his job?
@ArchitectOfEvil "I did a Computer Architecture subject."
computer architecture is cool.
how many other people took this course?
2:51
I approve of your game choice, mr. Man With Long Hair.
TF2 > Other Games
which subject should we choose to learn though, Computer games design which someone told me isn't held to reagrd compared to computer science students. I was thinking of portable games design eith any of those tand then learn computer games development afterwards.
im 15 years old and im wanting to go into the game industry what do u think my actions should be now at the current time.
I live in the US but i wnna work for Nintendo from Japan. Anyway i could work this out? I'd still wanna live here.
Ive always wanted to be a game/graphic designer of some sort but I don't know, I find my self enjoying the games more than drawing... I don't know and I'm 17 right now so I got to get on the ball and a MMO Football game does sound interesting...
I'm 12 and designed multiple games, one is on steam greenlight, the dead linger
This is not work, this is lunchtime.
We're teambonding, by killing each other.
I'm planning on becoming a video game designer when I grow up. I'm still at school so has anyone got any tips on what I need to do to become one?
Unity is a good program interface for making games for many platforms, but it is expensive if you want to have all of the pro things from the unity site. The are also user made stuff.

ja! you didnt get to far without the programming actually, plus, it is no that hard
@HotPocketsBoy an intermediate programming language, i think its the most popular one as well?
You're supposed to work for it, you're not going to learn just by sitting and listening to the teachers.
They guide you down a path, but you must follow through on your own.
This is the issue with people like you.

well, I live in Israel and the tuition to study at the technion (the Israeli institute of technology, our finest university) stands at around 2500-3000$ a year and it has the 18th best computer science faculty in the world (which makes it the best computer science faculty outside UK\US, according to the shanghai university ranking list) and is ranked 78th overall (despite having 4 Nobel laureates the last decade)
so it's really just a matter of where you live and who you are if you ask me...
I dunno actually, I not really a fan of footie games at all; but the idea of playing an online match where each player is controlled by a human player sounds pretty interesting.
My last year and i would love to become a game designer! ^^
Still in high school but this is what I want to do I'm working hard now and I hope it pays off later on in life (I just keep dreaming)^^ that my motto
@TheJakePresland I dont think you need physics and maths to become a game designer.Just Computer Science...
I want to know what he said the other 12 hours.
I so bad want to have that job in the future.
@ArchitectOfEvil 1. yes, it is not necessary in general, but it is interesting.
2. no, no drivers,drivers are way mor advanced than basic hardware programming.
3. Assambling Language, and yes, I learnd that first (I started with microcontrollers in assambler, for instance)

well it all really depends on the teachers you have. Also tutorials go so far. (designer student) But you learn the most at an intership.
You should make computer science videos
Look up Extra Credits: Game Schools.
Niice , where ya live im always looking for one.
looks great i mean how many jobs let you play cod 4 while you work . only one ........
so im 24 years old and I have some experience in the php and im going to learn JAVA C# C++ can I learn it in this age :P?
So you did Computer Science, but how did you get into Design? That's exactly what I want to do.
Learn a programming language. I suggest C++ because it is industry standard. Once you are competent with the language learn an API such as directx opengl ect. This will allow you to create programs with graphics.
Really? Cool! What games have you made?
@DarkShroom ah i see quite a neat concept it's free to try online
This video goes especially to people whining that they are TOO old to get into the games industry!....IT IS NEVER LATE!...The guy was in his late 20's when he decided to study CS!
No prob, if you have any other questions you may have for me just message me. Have a great day.
Does a major in graphic design lead into games? Like level artist or 3 artist?
Here in Scotland we don't need to pay for University.
Is it possible for the designer to do more than just designing? and i don't mean a little bit of programming.I mean be a major influence.
i want to be like you but i can't find uni or college in the uk :(
Mine too!! Though...I think I've been dreaming about since I was 5 or 6. o.o
would have been nice if they'd actually show the team making the game and not just the team leaders overseeing that stuff..
He's lead designer. The designers make the assets and animations, and thus make the most visible part of the game.

I get that and according to the video title it makes sense.. (my bad, really)..

John D. Carmack co-founded Id Software, and Stephan Gary "Steve" Wozniak co-founded Apple Inc. They developed groundbreaking stuff on their own.
What novelty have the programmers on this MMORPG created?
Cees Timmerman same could be said about this designer in the video...
I simply appreciate it when people are credited for their work, that's all.. Carmack and Wozniak are great people, no doubt about that and I'm sure that there are people who don't care if they get any credit or not, but things wouldn't be the same without their efforts no matter how large or small they are..
After all it's a group effort so the least you can do is give them some credit,. It would take ages for one guy to do the amount of work that all of them combined do, so why not give them the credit they deserve?

The programmers on this game are likely using 3rd party libraries that contain most of the difficult bits. Would the creators of those libraries, their hardware producers, moms, etc. all need to be in the credits?
I think you might have effort and you might be big in the future. If I had a company I would hire you.
yeah but i found out they dont create videogame s there, they do other things. go figure. il look again
@hypnoticatrance are you currently employed at a firm for game design ? or did you create your own firm or something like that ?
