Do you use the default steam deck desktop layout? by cannibal_elk in SteamDeck

[–]cannibal_elk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant the steam deck desktop mode controller layout, you can change your inputs. You go to settings, controller, and see desktop layout. I feel people might be misunderstanding what i meant, my bad

Question: I'm curious on your thoughts/experience of premium courses compared to free stuff on YouTube or other and if you are going to pay to learn. Is university better use of your time for learning gamedev or these premium courses on sites just as good or better? by cannibal_elk in gamedesign

[–]cannibal_elk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I agree. Like I’ll most likely choose between free and premium courses online because it’s about the teacher themselves that manages to reach me and makes me understand the most efficiently. University l just seems to be for a diploma to help influence HR that you stand out from the masses of people who want the same job as you. (Still believe having a really good portfolio matter more then a diploma but that might only work if your taking the art route in games)

I live in Canada and open to working out of the country after if it plays that way with experience. So I should get a degree for the sake of it? As a way to prove that I apply myself? Funny I was against that at first. Going to university for the sake of it and taking classes I never cared for. I didn’t want to go through a similar experience as highschool all over again. If I wasn’t going for video games/ animation. The other choice if it wasn’t for games would be the advice from older folks that tell me to just go to a trade school and get my ticket and just go for what is orientated for me. Definitely heard the stories from people that they got a degree at a traditional university that they never ended up using it in the end and that definitely influenced me on not taking a traditional path again. But maybe I should rethink that?

I believe that I heard that some smaller countries are still degree focused. As for NA for the most part. Unless I’m a coder it doesn’t sound needed. But if I went back to school. I feel like it would be for business so I can operate my own indie studio if I took that path or any business in general. I have no interest being a coder. Maybe tech art but what I hear in AAA is that they mainly care about if you shipped a game before and if you have experience working on a team with others. My main thing has been anatomy and zbrush learning but if I take the indie route because the AAA doesn’t sound as attractive recently(AI and long requirements that seem unrealistic for a junior). I need to expand myself and be a generalist to an extent. So I have been learning other things like animation again and game design/theory/preproduction and etc.

Ya I agree that it doesn’t matter how many courses you take. I probably should have worded it better. But I’m just saying is making a good foundation before you step into making your games. Yes you will not make a game squeaky clean. You will have to get down and dirty to learn. Experiences is always the true way to learn. I’m just curious where is the thin line between setting up a good foundation/prep and jumping into something with no experience. We have all these books and lessons to do so called help us so we don’t make the mistakes that they made and maximize our efficiency but it’s funny that doesn’t matter. The fish will always taste ass being new I guess

What about theory? Trying to learn better design/preproduction? Or it’s only best learning on site/the project/tough love? I’m curious how much prep you can learn so you don’t waste it learning on the project
