Animation or Game Design:Carear Choice ?

  • Hey guys I'm 21 and from Ireland. I'm researching which college path to take. Iv always been drawn to game design but all the programming is very daunting. I just like the thoughts of working in a gaming company on big titles with a team. Iv done some basic animation in Maya and liked it ,with this id like to work abroad also on big movies with a team. I have no formal art training but have always had an artistic flair and can draw reasonably enough so say so but I would work on it. Anyone got any advice on these two carear paths? Id like to work in Callifornia perhaps. Try keep the advice kind positive if possible, see alot of negitive posts online which is disheartening Thanks :)

    well depends what you love more. i love games, so im trying to be a game designer/developer. if you want to make things like the simpsons, futurama stuff like that and MORE. then choose animation. do what you love. it will be hard though, i dont know about animation,but its complicated for the game designing buissness, code and all that....

the negative posts are mostly to pul you back to reality this is not a cushy job it wil not be easy you have to break your back to get in to the industry and then make long long long and hard hours to get anywhere neither paths are easy but form the sound off it you would be happiest as an animator but fiddleing around in maya isnt enough you got to want it and all the good will drive and want in the world will not replace talent do you have talent ? you better think long and hard about this about either of them and com to you rown conclusion as to what you really want but dont let your dreams cloud reality
