[gameprogrammer] Re: gameprogramming school

Tristan,
 
Depending on what your ultimate goal in the game industry is you will want to 
make a determination on the direction of degree you will pursue. 
 
Game Art and Design (see aii.edu) programs offered at The Art Institutes 
prepare graduates to pursue opportunities in production game art and game 
design from the concept level. The emphasis is on art production.
 
Visual and Game Programming (see aii.edu) programs offered through the Art 
Institutes prepares students to work with artists and hardcore programmers in 
developing game interaction and play. The emphasis is on player interaction, 
scripting effects to art and assets, and communication.
 
Schools often intertwine lexicon such as Game Design, Game Development, and 
Game Production. The key to a schools program is the emphasis of their 
coursework. The Ai approach is to provide a degree that takes the student from 
concept to completion and covers aspects of the game production pipeline from 
game concept to art creation, to level design, and player interaction.
 
Best wishes to you in becoming a future game design professional. If there are 
any questions that I may address for you, feel free to contact me.
