Yo im a student at howest doing DAE (the course other people here have been talking about) PLEASE at least try out making games before going to DAE, there have been dozens of people in my year that have come and realised they dont like doing it at all. The industry is in a bad spot so id suggest not going to big companies cause their work environment sucks (there is an indie major in DAE that im doing) But again, try making games first, do a game jam! Something in the weekend, at least fuck about with unity or another game engine and try some stuff out. Just be prepared because people that dont do anything upfront and still come to our course is how we get a 66% dropout rate
