Card Game Idea, How do I hire a printer? Computer design?
I have an idea for an educational card game, how do I hire a printer? What are some simple computer design tools I can use, and are there any game design websites?
Yeah, I’m clueless, but the idea is a good one!
This is who I use for my printer . . .they do great work!!! You might want to try someone locally by looking in the yellow pages or online. I don’t know of any game design websites though.

Yes and here are some suggestions.
1) Stanford University
2) MIT

5) RIT
6) Chicago University
7) Northwestern University
SUNY Baffalo
9) SUNY Stonybrook
What do you think of Computer Science: Computer Game Design?
Is this a good major? The only school offering this is UCSC
it is a highly….. USELESS degree..
Honestly.
I graduated with a Bachelors in Game art And Game Design
or Game art and Design.
it is difficult to find entry level positions anywhere.
most likely in California, not a guarantee. that there would be more entry level openings over there.
and also the cost of living there is so high, you might as well work at a gas station…
but the point being.
if you want to pick a school and a degree.. you better make sure you can find a job afterwards and that it would be enough money to pay off your student loans or keep you alive.
if the job cant even pay you enough money that you can donate 10% to charity and still survive.. then its hardly worth it.
try career builder website or things like that and try to find a job in whatever field you are thinking off.
now imagine.. after you graduate.. you will be looking for a job..
so by looking at the demand and the qualifications they ask..
do you think you’ll get hired?
thats the practical side of things.
God Bless.
i had a quick question on computer game design?
is it an easy course… ROP computer game design… i’m taking it for the first time, and i am not sure whether i should stay with it or choose another course…i am kinda computer guy… i mena i know shizz bout computers and all, but i have never tried to design a game..
is it hard/easy… HELP ME>>>>>
It depends really on whether you can think logically or not.
If you can’t think logically, you may find it hardish.
If you can think logically, you may find it easy.
But for each person it is different, as it depends on the person.
If it is a basic game design course, and you know something about programming, it should not be that hard.
The part that may get hard is designing 3D games, as you may need to know a lot of maths to be able to do it. That is, making 3D graphics is pretty much maths based.
