My goal

My goal

Alright, something other than game reviews. I think it will be a good idea to introduce a little more about myself. I am a Chinese student, CS major and CGT minor in Purdue. I want to work in a game company like EA in the future and make my own game.

So I am learning programming, and have joined some club to learn drawing, modeling. I have joined student groups and organization to participate in game making. I feel like that I want to learn all skills and everything about making a game. But then I realize I have to be focus on one point in order to get myself into the industry.

So I want to be a game designer. Since I am just a beginner in both programming and computer graphics, ideas and design are all I have got. I am doing these game reviews to learn more about a game and what is a good game design.

However, game designer sounds like a pretty high position. I wonder what kind of skill can get me into the industry and get myself to that position. There is no way I can just get hired by keep playing computer games and making these game reviews.

I really want to go to the GDC, but I also don’t want to miss any of my classes. I also want to go to the E3 show one day (hopefully) when I am in the industry. Anyway, I am applying for student volunteer for SIGGRAPH 2010 Conference in LA. Hope I can go there and meet some professionals from the game industry.

The game school SMU Guild Hall in Texas and Flashpoint Academic sounds sweet. I am thinking about going to one of these schools after my graduation. But who knows what will happen after 3 years; maybe I will already be working in some great game companies.

Hope that you can find my name in some game credit in the future and maybe I will be giving speech of my game on E3! : )

Bad news!

Late news: I was sick and coughing, and will continue coughing for the next 4 weeks.

Plus the final month of college is going in April, essays and projects will rush towards me at the same time. So.....I guess I have to save my energy for my education and body health. No games in the next month! How sad is that......

Good luck for all the college students!

Oh! By the way, Metro 2033, so far so good.
I have played about 2/3 of Metro 2033 and although there are some thing I don't like about it, it is pretty good! I have never played Fallout 3, but I heard that they are basically the same thing. It is a better game than Avatar, good work Ukraine 4A.

Seriously, forget about the Fools Day, I am sick!
