Game Designer Examines State of Game Education
In this week's issue of The Escapist, game designer Erin Hoffman takes a look at the growing industry of game design education, starting with that infamous commercial for Westwood College. Here's an excerpt:A
number of questions remain to be answered. Can a college really claim
to be teaching game development if their faculty has no game
development experience? Where does theory end and practice begin? Is it
more important to be a strong communicator and teach solid skills, or
to have spent time in the trenches? On one issue the industry is
unanimous: There is no replacement for live experience. But experience
making games does not immediately correlate to skill in instructing and
inspiring students.
