How do I become a computer or video game maker.

 

My decision

Now for my decision. Because I am a working man and I do not want game making to be a profession, the college option was ruled out. Even going to an online college would be a hassle due to the time it would take and the cost is prohibitive. I’ve got three kids lined up for college in the not to distant future so I have to watch my spending. Of course at my age, I can’t do a summer camp, however, I find it hard to schedule one for my kids because of softball, football, vacations and other things that pop up over the summer. For me my best option is the downloadable video tutorials. I paid for one from juniorgamemaker and I must admit I’m pretty satisfied. I sat down with my kids and we went through the whole tutorial in about 2 hours and actually created a game with our own characters. This one is simple enough that we didn’t have any gotcha moments when the tutorial doesn’t match what’s on our screen. All in all it was a good experience and I’m really exited about the classes they will soon be offering. I sent an email to the company and they said they will be rolling out short, 1 and half hour classes convenient for the schedules of adults and kids alike for a reasonable fee. If you fit the same profile I do, go ahead and check out the site, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
