Hi,
Dont wanna hijack this thread but my brother also wants to become a part of the gaming industry.
He can play for hours and hours on end so i wanted him to apply for testing, but he is kinda adamant that he wants to go in for programming only. He had partially developed a game for WP7 using XNA during his last semester during his BE in CSE.
These days(2 months after his BE got over), he is sitting at home and just plays games all day long and does nothing else, so kinda worried for him.
I am taking him to meet someone i know who works for EA India, but some pointers about any courses(India or abroad) or how to get a foothold for entry into the Industry would be very helpful.
#pr0ing - Any pointers will be immensely helpful. He has just completed his BE in CSE 2 months ago.
He just loves playing games and i have never seen him dislike any game and was always quick to see any bugs etc. Thats why i suggested testing to him. His retort was that playing for a job will end the fun for him plus he wants to contribute more towards the game by programming. I don't know what to say to him as i am not familiar with the working of the industry.
