               At               DePaul               University's               College               of               Computing               and               Digital               Media               in               downtown               Chicago,               students               can               relax               in               the               lounge               and               play               some               of               the               biggest,               newest               video               games               on               huge,               high-definition               televisions.

However,               the               real               fun               in               this               school               is               happening               in               the               upstairs               labs.

Here,               students               are               laughing               and               working               furiously               on               computers               not               playing               games,               but               making               them.



               Such               a               sight               shows               just               how               far               video               games               have               come               since               the               days               of               Pac-Man               and               Pong               in               1980s               bars               and               arcades.

What               were               once               kilobyte-sized               files               with               blocky               graphics               have               become               massive               productions               on               par               with               the               latest               blockbuster               movies               in               terms               of               budgets.

In               the               past               all               one               needed               to               make               most               games               was               a               basement               and               a               friend               who               could               program.

Today               though,               it's               a               little               less               simple               to               get               into               one               of               the               most               expanding               and               profitable               sectors               of               the               entertainment               industry.

Like               with               any               other               serious               career,               one               needs               a               serious               education.
               A               Growing               Trend
               According               to               the               Entertainment               Software               Association,               one               of               the               governing               bodies               of               the               video               game               industry,               the               number               of               schools               offering               video               game               design               programs               has               been               steadily               increasing.

This               past               academic               year,               that               number               reached               300               in               the               United               States,               a               20               percent               increase               from               the               year               before.

Currently,               there               are               only               eight               states               in               the               union               without               one               of               these               schools.



               "Our               game               design               programs               officially               launched               in               2008               and               since               their               inception,               interest               has               grown               very               rapidly,"               said               Angela               Kugler,               admissions               director               at               the               DigiPen               Institute               of               Technology               in               Redmond,               Wash.

DigiPen               was               recently               named               the               third               best               undergraduate               school               for               video               game               design               by               the               Princeton               Review.

"Our               enrollment               grew               last               year               about               10               percent               over               the               previous               year.

I               think               our               enrollment               growth               is               also               a               product               of               a               lot               of               new               initiatives               and               not               just               because               we               started               offering               the               game               design               programs."               

               There               are               more               careers               in               the               game               industry               besides               designing               that               these               schools               can               prepare               one               for               however.

Ross               Derham,               a               19-year-old               from               Swedesboro,               N.J.

studying               game               design               at               Champlain               College               in               Burlington,               Vt.,               hopes               to               get               a               job               writing               scripts               for               games.



               Champlain               is               number               eight               on               the               Princeton               Review               list,               and               one               of               its               more               appealing               aspects               is               the               flexibility               it               offers               students               like               Derham.

"They               have               specifics               in               the               game               majors               (game               design,               game               art,               game               programming)               whereas               in               the               other               schools               it               is               all               lumped               under               one               big               major.

I               wanted               to               specify               what               I               would               want               to               do               in               the               major               because               I               would               rather               be               amazing               at               one               aspect               than               mediocre               at               all               three."
               Is               It               Really               Necessary?
               While               the               video               game               industry               itself               is               a               relatively               recent               development,               having               only               been               around               for               about               30               years,               schools               for               game               design               are               even               newer.

The               oldest               courses               started               about               a               decade               ago.

Therefore,               those               who               have               been               in               the               industry               for               some               time               now               are               unsure               of               how               effective               they               are.



               "If               you               want               to               break               into               the               industry,               get               a               university               education,               but               it               doesn't               matter               if               you               go               to               a               '˜Game               Design               Course.'               In               fact,               I'd               probably               recommend               you               don't,"               said               Simon               Phipps               a               veteran,               self-taught               game               programmer               and               designer.

After               getting               his               computer               studies               degree               from               Nottingham               Trent               University               in               Nottingham,               England,               Phipps               has               gone               on               to               work               for               major               companies               like               EA               and               Eurocom.



               Instead,               Phipps               suggests               that               aspiring               designers               get               degrees               in               fields               related               to               game               design               but               not               exclusively               tied               to               it.

"I'd               recommend               that               anyone               go               and               learn               coding,               web               or               art               and               animations               skills               so               they've               got               transferable               skills               to               another               field               if               you               can't               get               into               games,"               he               said.

"At               the               end               of               the               day,               the               vast               majority               of               people               working               in               the               industry               are               coders               and               artists.

Get               a               good               grounding               on               that,               get               a               job               with               a               games               company               and               then               work               your               way               into               becoming               a               designer."
               Breaking               In
               When               hiring               though,               studios               look               for               more               than               just               education.

Again,               like               in               most               other               careers,               the               experience               of               prospective               designers               is               very               important.

"Have               a               strong               website               that               showcases               what               you               are               capable               of,"               said               Sarah               Beck,               a               representative               from               WB               Games.

"Make               sure               you               research               trends               in               the               industry               and               are               applying               at               studios               that               are               making               games               that               are               similar               to               your               portfolio.

Internships               and               software               knowledge               are               also               very               useful."               

               However,               proper               education               is               still               crucial.

"You               should               have               a               bachelor's               degree               of               some               kind               related               to               the               field,"               said               Beck.

"Types               of               degrees               can               be               in               many               areas               since               it               takes               many               different               skills               to               design               and               develop               a               video               game."               

               These               days               though,               with               the               game               industry               becoming               increasingly               niched               and               fragmented,               student               designers               do               not               always               need               to               be               hired               by               big               studios               to               get               noticed.

More               and               more               student-developed               games               are               getting               attention,               mostly               due               to               the               advent               of               free,               online               game               sharing               and               the               independent               games               scene.



               After               getting               a               lot               of               positive               press               from               game               publications               and               festivals,               "Octodad,"               developed               by               students               at               DePaul               University,               has               become               a               viral               hit               online.

Ronimo               Games               was               formed               by               Norwegian               game               design               students               who               had               sold               the               rights               to               their               student               game               "De               Blob"               to               major               publisher               THQ.

The               game's               subsequent               remake               was               a               hit               and               Ronimo               used               the               funds               to               develop               another               critically-acclaimed               game               "Swords               and               Soldiers."               

               The               First               Generation
               The               newness               of               game               design               programs               also               means               they               have               an               exciting,               potential               future               in               term               of               their               applications.

"Look               to               the               work               being               done               in               serious               games/edutainment               to               see               the               approaches               being               taken,"               said               James               Portnow,               CEO               of               Rainmaker               Games               and               a               freelance               game               design               columnist.

Portnow               thinks               it's               important               to               foster               the               development               of               better               designers               in               order               to               make               better               games               because               they               have               so               much               potential               as               a               medium.



               "Games               can               help               educate,               help               us               overcome               national               and               international               barriers,               see               past               stereotypes,"               said               Portnow.

"They               can               let               us               explore               ideas               and               challenge               our               suppositions."               

               We               are               in               a               time               where               the               children               who               grew               up               playing               video               games               are               going               to               be               the               ones               making               them.

Going               to               school               for               coding               or               programming               is               one               thing,               but               the               concept               of               going               to               school               specifically               for               game               design               is               one               whose               benefits               are               still               unknown.

However,               these               aspiring               designers               are               eager               to               uncover               this               mysterious,               unchartered               territory.
