HELP- TRAIN 2 GAME????

[Andii]

ok so im posting this thread to ask anyone on habboxforum do they know anything about

Train 2 Game

A man from the course was just at my house telling me stuff about it. And it sounds really really cool =] =] and so am just wondering if anyone else has heard about it?

I've heard of it, but don't know much about it tbh. I know one of my mates was looking at it.

Essentially you're not going to get anywhere with it, it is a bit of a scam (I mean what successful video game designers started through door to door salesmen).

They just give you resources you can readily get on the Internet and on the whole it won't really help you get a job in the video game industry.


Wanting to work in the gaming industry is a bit juvenile anyway, unless you're already successful at coding and handy on photoshop before you're 15 you may as well forget it, a degree at university in game design won't help you at all either as the skills are irrelevant. Then of course there's the fact there's barely any jobs in game design and more and more often it's outsourced.

He isnt a door to door. . you contact them and then they send someone out to talk to you. then very few get selected to take on the course . . . and it sounds way more complicated than what you showed lol . . . =]

What I've posted are the views of numerous people on Train 2 game, it does seem that door to door is a marketing tactic of theirs. Of course they try to make it sound more complexed and you've been told "very few selected get selected", how do you know that's true? If you don't watch yourself you're either going to get scammed or come out with a useless qualification which won't help you in the slightest.

Some big companies do require people to go to university to get a job in programming, game design, coding etc. because it does show dedication to get where you are, as well as experience becomes a long way.

What Jordy is posting is accurate because all they want is your money. They don't care about your future nor do they have a legitimate course to even help you in the games designing industry.

There's plenty of places to learn independantly. Really this takes out the only advantage of purchasing the education as that is having someone to guide you through it. Yes there's a forum with people but you could probably find a forum exactly the same.
