Hello,

i have one question!

I life in Vienna (Austria) and i want to study "Game-Design", but i want to stay here in Vienna.

I talk with the "Game-Academy" which settled in Berlin in Germany!

They said to me that they will emigrate to vienna next Year.

Currently i learn "office clerk" because i'm now 17 years old. Im finish in 1 Year and then i want to begin with game design.

Can anybody tell me another company or university who teach game design?!

And sorry for my bad bad english, i just tried to do well!

best wishes,
alex

Is it "game design" you want to study? Or is it "game programming" that you want to study?

When you enter an academy such as games-academy is, or quantm is, you won't learn directly what game design is.
This thesis is based on two points:
1.) look at the portfolio,
extract: The Game Designer is the leading figure in the planning and general design of computer- and videogame development. The core of his function comprises concept, testing and balancing. Entry Job Profile: Junior Game Designer, Game Designer (Assistant)
This is just what is part of a game designer's job. Not what they directly teach.
Now another extract (from quantm):
* Character Designer
* Composer
* Games Designer
* Script Writer
* Games Tester
* Concept Artist
* Level Designer
* Environment Artist
* Project Manager
* Quality Assurance

2.) I have study material from most of the academies, and universities which "teach" such courses, and I read a lot of articles about courses which you call "game design", but you do not learn actual game designing.
You ll probably learn character modelling or programming.

Just what I heard and saw.

In my very honest opinion to become a successful game designer you should rather study design theory or something more conservative, which covers more than just "games".
Most of the greatest game designers, weren't people who just sit in front of "games".

The major resource of a game designer is to interact with his environment and fetch as many creativity and experience as possible.
