Anonymous asked:
G’day GameDev. I am in my late 30’s and considering returning to school to study Game Design. I currently have no applicable/transferable knowledge, skills or experience and I will be 40 years old when I have finished my studies and looking to find my first job in the industry. Am I too late? Will I be wasting my time (and money) trying to enter the industry at that age?
A

- jambeast said: From my experience of going to a place that also does Game Design (but not doing Game Design myself), a pretty large proportion of Game Design course is learning 3D modelling software and some engine stuff. The actual *Design* stuff, which is the least requiring of a university course, is only part of it.
