Who here has an interest in video game making?
 

Topic ^^

I'm into game design a lot. I love to create entire concepts. I visualize the game and jot down most of it on paper. I use pencil and paper to draw some rough concept arts of some stuff, and I use Map Editors in games a bit, too. I even use my guitar to make some music ^^

So who else in JF has an interest in that sort of thing? Doesn't matter if you're a programmer, an artist or a writer ^_~

i used to be until my friend started teaching me what he learned in his college classes for that stuff. man its tedious. still love playing video games just ima stay away from programming games and making game engines. *yuck*

People who like programming love the logic in it, because they tend to think very logically themselves. They also love the problem-solving and the endresult.

With that said, I think programming is masochistic and after having done my share of C++ and GML, I was like... no, I don't want to anymore. Granted, I love to program but learning all the various things you need to learn before you can independanty start programming is what I think is sheer torture.

Using Map Editors like the Warcraft III World Editor and UnrealEd with UnrealScript (haven't tried the two latter though) is fun, though. But yeah, I just love creating all the cool game ideas.

Id love to get into programming but i think i could only do it with a teacher, ive tried time and time again but its either too much or boring :/ i love thinking of ideas for games tho :D shame theres no way of making them more than ideas XD

i tried by going to school for this stuff, but i lost interest or didn't feel excited working on games. i learned a little bit of everything but none of the areas made me excited i guess. i wanted to try out game testing but i never got hired anywhere though i did have a few interviews.

I took a class on C++ and it was fun. Next year I'm taking a class on video game programming and design. I'm more of a designer though.

sorry i only like playing lol

I have been designing since 6th grade, I currently know HTML, Javascript, PHP, some XML, and I used to know Java and C++ ...

interesting...
very interesting...
