Thanks for looking. I composed some of the music on the site on Pro Tools 8, and now I am only using Ableton Live: http://www.ableton.com/products. It's about $700 for the download.

ATM I'm studying Game Programming at UAT.edu. I will let you know how it goes. You should consider a school that will teach you game programming as supposed to general stuff.

Cool website. What software you use for music? How much it cost?

Game Programing. First Classes?

mfeola — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 11:19:46 -0600

I am currently a website developer but I got my degree in Computer Science. I have always wanted to get into programming video games but have been stuck in the East coast because of family (stuck by choice isn't stuck... I know this). After seeing how things have grown I would really like to get my foot in the door and work on a game but I have no idea where to start, continue, or if any companies would really want someone who is willing to learn on the job and not just know it going in.

I want to make myself a good applicant in the near future and just need to know where I can start up again. I looked through the options for schools but it looks like most of those are undergrad or online and I would much rather have something hands on in person with people.

Does anyone have any suggestions other than those schools that advertise on TV? I am tempted to try one of those out if I don't get any better suggestions.

Honestly I really want to make arcade games, I love how you still get a nice surprise by how amazingly beautiful or innovative such small low cost to consumer games are.

Hello everyone.
Im currently going to NJIT for a BS in CS. I have zero experience in game development; however, i have tried making my own games using what i have learned in school so far. I would like to ask the more experienced ppl here if there is a programming language I should focus on and if you could recommend me a book or website that explains the game industry (job positions, skills required, etc).

Thank you all for taking the time to help me out.

;)

Re: Opportunities for a senior french profile in NYC ?

Hey !

I'm also french, and will move to NY in 2011 !

Maybe we have to get together some day !
Faut s'entraider entre français !

C'est pas encore fait, mais j'y pense serieusement, ma femme est américaine, alors c'est l'occasion d'aller bosser dans un studio américain.

Mais NY n'a pas l'air d'être la meilleure ville pour le jeu vidéo...

Bonne chance en tout cas pour tes recherches !

bye

Work as Narrative Designer in NY ! ( ? )

guicole — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 17:42:08 -0700

Hi everyone !

I'm a french Narrative Designer, i've work on Adventure games so far (Obscure, Obscure 2n Alone in the dark,etc...)
I'm planning to come in NY, to live.

Apparently, the game industry is not very big in NY, and only one AAA game compagny...

so... do you think that, i should considr moving somewhere else ???
I love NY, I really want to go there. But if i can really find a job... that's may be a litlle stupid to go.

So, what do you think ?

Thanks for your advice !
