One thing that the video game industry needs to be more proactive in is the education of the general public with regards to video game schools or game design programs. When people think of gaming schools, they might think of the ones that get the most coverage like a DigiPen Institute of Technology or Art Institute of Vancouver. However, not everyone gets to attend these shining examples. Some aspiring Shigeru Miyamoto’s and Ken Levine’s might wind up wasting four years and tens of thousands of dollars at a less than reputable institution. That’s where Extra Credits comes in to give some advice for anyone thinking about attending a school to actually become a game creator.
