Just do computer science. You'll learn the majority of stuff you need to know for game design.
That bait image though. CS shouldn't be put next to kinesiology.

>>253836129
Go to University
Design games on the side/free time

I've heard from a ton of different sources, including video game designers, that going to school for game design is a complete waste of time.

Making games sucks shit

You're told what to do, spend a week figuring out how to fix the other underpaid morons on your team's mistakes, cut out shit from the E3 trailer in sneaky ways.

Go for real job engineering shit, where you do similar shit, but with respect and better wages.

Learn2mod some games, like falloutNV, as a hobby to scratch that itch.

Major in engineering and minor in vidya design.

>>253836129
If you take CompSci, don't go in wanting to work in vidya.
My interest in CS started through video games, but I dropped that hope when I looked at how hard it was to get into the industry. OP, just learn how to make vidya by learning yourself/taking other classes. I know way too many people who went into CS wanting to make video games, then quit or failed due to being too focused on vidya. The only guy I know who got through tried to get hired. When he finally found a studio, the pay was pitiful and he left soon afterwards. Now he makes a lot more.
Video games are a shit job to work in, just learn on the side.

>>253836129
Do you want to study really hard then work really hard and make a lot of money

or do you want to study not very much, work insanely hard to make mediocre money and in the end have very little control over the end product so you can't even take pride in your own work.

Game design is a shitty fucking major. Its a fucking scam and you won't be making vidya you'll enjoy. Be a comp sci or stay in Engineering and learn game design on the side since its related to the shit you'll have to master eventually. Don't be a retard.

>>>/adv/

if your uni has a software engineering degree it's better for getting actual programming knowledge than comp sci is unless you want to work in a research field

>>253836129
take the engineering position

make vidya as a hobby in your spare time while being wealthy instead of being a failed game designer who is either homeless or works for EA

you're welcome

>all these faggots who think a real hands-on game design course isn't a beneficial thing

My University has constant projects going on to grade you, working with other disciplines like programming courses and art courses to produce games, to help you learn, and there's also external companies (vidya and non vidya, for instance BP, Sony, UK government) who come in to give you briefs, and you have to report to them each week like a real job, working along to a brief and their changing demands.

There's also loads of funding available to take projects beyond the classroom and maybe even start your own company.

You're all a bunch of bitter faggots.

Double major, or do a double degree over 5 years if your UNI allows it and you can afford it. I did Physics and Comp Sci double major which worked out well after a few years in the industy. I would avoid game design programs as a single major unless your school forces you to take some of the more difficult Comp Sci courses or if you are an extremely disciplined as a self learner. Also start designing games using the tool available right now: IOS, Andriod, XNA, Monogame, Unity. You will be surprised at how much you can accomplish nowadays with those tools and maybe even the amount of money you can make uses them in after a few months.

Funny thing with respect to that picture is that it is true that Comp Sci can be easy if you pick your courses accordingly, but it can also be as hard if not harder than Physics if you take the courses in advanced algorithms, discrete/analysis math, computer automata, and compiler design.

Precisely, that's psychology for you.

Civil Engineer here, do Computer Engineering, and you'll be able to North write software, firmware, AND design hardware for all aspects of computer science, video games included.

Trust me, the computer engineering degree will have you making 6 digits in 6 years, easily. Please please please do not squander this opportunity. Get the degree, and you'll find that video game companies (and everyone else in tech) will be incredibly impressed and eager to recruit you with that degree.

Good luck, and don't waste this chance.

I know. I'm a film scoring major. But it's not an entirely stable thing you know.

I am a video game designer at a major AAA console developer. I have a degree in computer science and a masters in business.

I worked for 4 years as a programmer and then switched to design. Life is good but let me tell you something: The quality of designers is really, really varied. Some of the designers at my company are amazing and you can tell after a 10 minute conversation with them how fucking good they are at their jobs. Others are gibbering retards who struggle to play the simplest games on the market.

This suggests to me that getting into design is more luck than skill.

Comp Sci has been a crap shoot for the last 15 years. Try your best at getting some internships, figure out what works for ya and try to land a job with a company you interned with. DBA can be a terminal position that caps out fairly low pay, unless you are an elite consultant. Networking can pay a lot but requires piles of certifications. To do well in terms of money you have to be elite or figure out a way to be self employed.

Since we're all arguing about this shit, I'll lay out something for you roody-poos that at least 90 percent of the lurkers probably already realize:

The perfect major is different from person to person, and trying to establish a priori ('self evident' you retards) 'true' tier lists for majors is like trying to figure out who someone should marry or date.

People have different skillsets, of which the only way we as roody-poos have to judge is economic output, which is a really fucking shitty way of determining value, because plenty of shit has non-monetary value.

The respectable STEM kid realizes that his world is better for the breadth of sciences and arts and humanities, and learns to appreciate other people's employment of skill and talent while making lots of money.

The good humanities kid realizes that he is making a conscious choice to go against what would be the 'most straightforward' path to success because their skill-sets and interests do not align perfectly with the current market structure, and appreciate that the STEM people have different interests and take great pride in the applicability of their work.

medicine may pay nice, but it is not only a bitch to study alot of shit you won't need to know, but also is alot of time sank into it to get your degrees

I would not recommend going into STEM. Everyone and their dog has that idea. It will be extremely hard to find a job.

nobody fucking cares. enjoy wasting a shit ton of money.

Tell me /v/ why aren't you majoring in a biological science in order to rid autism from the world?

>>253846232
so are you saying that you do or don't want a PhD to bathe in shekels

STEM degrees make only .5 more than arts degree with drive and experience. They start out higher but lose more in long run.

Hoping to get a job as a Court Officer. Nice pay, easy work, retire in 20 years.

Community college. Build a GPA and a work ethic, then transfer. Or stick with an Associate's Degree.

Not him, but why would you wait 8 years to bathe in shekels instead of 4? You're jewing out in the end so why does it matter?

what's your scholarship from? Academia, sports or because you're a minority?

If it's from academics then are you just not finding the courses stimulating enough or what. You have to realise that the courses you are doing won't be like the job

>hurr u gotta get a degree wit jobz!
Retard

>>253846272
Yeah. Grads in the next few years will be competing with Chads as equally qualified, who are also all outgoing and charismatic to boot.

gg no re

>>253846310
because a BS in biological science qualifies you to do almost nothing. it really only ensures you tick all the boxes for a post grad degree
