Hello all,
I am a student at Glendale Community College. I am currently taking a certificate course for Game Technology and then moving onto Game Development I & II.
So here are my questions:
1. I know many people say a degree is not needed for game development as long as you can show you know what you are doing. Should I just complete the certificate course and then go on my way or continue on with Game Development I & II? I have already paid for the certificate course and purchased the required books so I will be finishing it. (Just as a note all 3 utilize GMS)
2. Is GameMaker: Studio worth it? Since GCC utilizes it for all of its game courses I figure it is, but would I be better off dropping the courses and focusing on Unity or C++?
3. For my courses I was required to pay for GMS along with the Android export. What other exports would you suggest? I don't have a MAC or iPhone so as of now I think the iOS export is not needed, but I am leaning towards the HTML5 export.
If you could help out with these questions I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
