Hey!
I'm trying to download some games and projects but none of the downloads work on the daily click so I'm wondering if there is any other place where I can find click games and projects?
It kinda feels like the click community is shrinking, it used to be such a fun place now there's just a handfull of users on the forum and only ONE active click community.. What has happened? Is the interest in making games gone?
Thems have games and links and stuff. Natomic died (IIRC). And theres a new rating system at TDC so many old, higher ranked games need to be hunted in the downloads section.

Haha I did that. Went in for multimedia and just ended up making my final end-of-year projects all MMF games.
Game designing covers all areas of it:
Level designs, character designs, story development, etc etc
Game programming probably skims over this, but focuses mainly on using C++ or similar to create programs.
Most of the first year will be simple programming, and how to create effects like paralax scrolling.
I know at one uni I looked at years ago when i was thinking about it (when my brother was applying for uni) I went there and they didnt do any real independent game development until the third year of the course.
But I did recommend MMF to the tutor, whether he actually followed up on it or not I don't know.
Cool. Question: game programmers have to do what the game designer decides 100%, right? I love computer stuff, but I think I could work better if I could concentrate solely on designing. That said... I don't really think I want/need the official way of designing games, I like to have off-kilter stuff. Meh, getting off topic...
topic has been changed: discussion on game design/programming
thats tricky. i love programming, but i don't wanna be told what to do or how to do it by game design team or something.
but churning stuff out as a one man show is time consuming and hard work. grr.
See, that's my trouble. I think I would like under the hood stuff, but I wouldn't want to take orders and multiman projects are more fun. What are some good colleges for game design? (I'd like experience answers, if possible. We've all seen ads.
i wouldnt know. im going to a local university in california. california state university of fullerton (CSUF).
im majoring in computer science so i have options to do what i want. i havent gotten to the point where i need to decide what route of computer science i want to take, albeit software development, game design, game programming, networking, etc.
i've heard a lot about full sail tho. for a time thats where i wanted to go.
yeah. low level classes are generic introduction to programming courses (cpsc-120 cpsc-121 cpsc-131). then you when you get to high level classes you can do more specific things. the computer science major has like 5 specific tracks you do. or you can custom your own.
Am I the only one who wants to be an artist? A life as a game designer involves way too much excel spreadsheets and frustration because the programmer goes "isn't technically possible".
