Video Game Development Training: Get Paid to Play

Few Americans who grew up during the first wave of Atari and Coleco game consoles could have realized that game development would rival movie production as both a business and a passion.

In fact, game development is close to surpassing the revenues from major motion picture DVDs in some parts of the world.

Unlike film schools, which often receive criticism for sending graduates into an oversaturated job market, game development schools often find work placements and internships for students. As video game development teams grow larger and budgets grow to resemble those of feature films, the industry needs skilled workers in a variety of specialties.

Game development schools allow students to focus on computer programming skills while building an appreciation for art and storytelling. Because most game development courses can be taught online, courses attract everyone from recent high school graduates to working adults curious about a career change.
