A group of our Games Development students went to the @gamerepublic student showcase yesterday. Impressive young people, making their first steps into industry. Brilliant stuff.
This is our first Games Education Roundtable at Leeds City College. Thanks to those who came - it was enlightening, inspiring and an all round lovely experience.
The more educators talk to industry, the better changes our students have of being ready for a job in games.
10 things I've learned from 17 years of #gamedev
1) You will most likely work on more (commercial or critical) failures than you will successes. This will probably break your heart at least once. Learn to love the act of making and creation over the validation of success.
Had a great morning looking round the Digital Screen Media facilities at @LeedsTrinity . A really friendly campus with great resources for film and Tv. And an upcoming games course!
