These guys are very experienced in this field and can help you with hour question so I have tagged them so you can get a prompt response.?????????????
loved your assistance. By the way I don't know about tagging people on messages because I am new to pak GamersThese guys are very experienced in this field and can help you with hour question so I have tagged them so you can get a prompt response.
Well, select one thing and be very good at it rather then Know about all good in none. So,Hey guys. Assalam o alaikum. Heading explains all. Need some expert supervision. Ask me anything about topic. I will reply ASAP. Thanks in advance. Love you PG. Special thanks to the authors of PG.
Well you're right about one thing thats for sure...Software Engineering Subject (Its most hated Subject in Computer Science.)
What are you doing Pre-med, Pre-eng? And where do your interests lie? Game Development doesn't necessarily mean programming and people from different fields can enter through respective areas.Hey guys. Assalam o alaikum. Heading explains all.

Thanks for your replies. But I understood only a little from the messages above. So let me clear myself.What are you doing Pre-med, Pre-eng? And where do your interests lie? Game Development doesn't necessarily mean programming and people from different fields can enter through respective areas.
If you don't want to go towards the programming side of things you don't necessarily need to do BSCS but it's recommended to keep your options open. Who knows you might decide to switch areas and go from like designing (creating characters) or animating to programming.
If you made up your mind to enter from the designing side practice your photoshop and other art skills everyday. For 3D you can practice creating models in 3ds Max/Maya.
You can also enter into the industry from the music/sound side if you are good at playing musical instruments but that wouldn't work here. We don't have that much of an industry in Pakistan.
Just a couple of game studios working on Android games, so if you are thinking about AAA games like COD, Battlefield sorry to burst your bubble You can always try your luck outside.
If you decide to enter through the programming side, then I'd say BSCS is a natural choice. Start reading programming books. If you haven't touched programming in your life, don't start from C/C++ you will get demotivated pretty fast.
Go to codecademy and do a few Ruby/Python tutorials there. Both are easy to understand. After that switch over to C++/C#. C++ is recommended as gullfounder said.
Don't worry bro everything starts small. I figured you wouldn't be able to understand everything of it. And what you said about Android gaming, that's the only thing present here in Pakistan as i told you. No AAA games are produced here. So aim to go abroad from the very start.Thanks for your replies. I only understood a very few things above. By the way I am a pre eng student at Aisha Bawany College and my maths skills are also awesome.
By the way I'm not interested in Android gaming. I love to play AAA games and I also like to know about how they are made. I am just a gamer. I have never designed a game neither edited a video. But I love computer, specially gaming. I know that I am self motivated and I can achieve some higher goals. But the problem is that I belong to a middle class family and I don't wanna be a engineer or CA
So what I should? Programming? Designing? Or development of games? Thanks in advance.
I feel you bro, we were like this at the start too. But try to understand playing PC games and trying to go into a career of creating those games are 2 very different things. You need to try all the fields for yourself nobody can tell you that you should do programming or designing or this or that. Get a taste of every field first hand. Then decide where your interests lie.Thanks for your replies. But I understood only a little from the messages above. So let me clear myself.
Q1. I have an expensive gaming PC and I have completed more than 1105 games on my own. Believe me I have completed them. So my love is PC GAMING. But Android games like Asphalt 9 legends, Cover Fire, Modern Combat 5, Real Racing 3, Need For Speed No Limits have also got my interest cause they resemble PC gaming in many ways...... So my question is that, What should I become? A game Programmer? A developer? Or a designer? My love is gaming. And i know that I can do something that many and many others can't.
Answer my first question then I'll ask the second one.
Thanks mate. I am interested in graphics of a game and I am always trying to make them better. There is not a single game in my PC which is vanilla. Although I am also interested in physics of game. Gonna talk to you guys at night maybe after 9pm. Because my exams are on my Head. I gotta study first. Thanks again.Don't worry bro everything starts small. I figured you wouldn't be able to understand everything of it. And what you said about Android gaming, that's the only thing present here in Pakistan as i told you. No AAA games are produced here.

As to what you should start, ask this yourself. First of all start by googling all these terms, 3D modeling, animation and get a feel as to how these are done. You'll get a pretty good introduction from wikipedia pages.
Are you interested in using softwares like Photoshop Illustrator? If so start practicing by creating character designs in them. There are a shitload of youtube tutorials for that. This is for 2D games.
Are you interested in how characters and other models like furniture,trees etc get created in 3D games. Start by learning 3DS Max/Maya. Again plenty of tutorials available.
Are you interested in how animation is done, for 3D again 3DS Max and Maya are the softwares you should look at. For 2D there can be photoshop or more sophisticated like Dragonbones.
If you have decided to pursue BSCS and wanna try a hand at programming. Try the link puppet gave you. Other than that there is a book named "C Sharp Yellow Book by Rob Miles" which is pretty good for new comers. I started programming with this book as well and it does a good job to give an overview.
Thanks yaar. Really appreciated. But I am interested in Programming Games. So after Second Year (XII) I should graduate in Computer science? If yes, then which universities or institutions can make that happen? Thanks again.Late to the party but to throw my two cents. What you need right now is the basics and that starts with getting into a Comp Sci program in a uni. Get the basics down, don't worry too much about programming languages at this stage. Once you are familiar with a single language others will come naturally to you. Deep down, most of all languages are the same give or take some differences. Pay attention to data structures and just practice. I don't know about your learning preferences but I am a fairly hands on learner, so take be a competent developer I basically took random programs on the internet, broke them down, added new features and then generally spent a million hours on google and stackoverflow to figure out how to make it work. It will be frustrating but its very rewarding as well.
Game development is fairly large, it can include anyone from a graphic designer, QA tester, programmer and so on. There are a gajillion roles to be had in a game studio. Just like you, my initial plan was to be a game developer but as time went on and I dove deep into Comp Sci, I found a ton of interesting shit. Point is, don't fret too much at this stage. Get into a uni and start building your basics. Probably around your second year or third you'll be competent enough to work on some small side projects. Also, I can't stress this enough but learn Git! As a fresh grad, a github profile will do you more wonders than you realize. I myself got a job based on my existing portfolio and githun projects.
If you need any more help, don't hesitate to ask.
I also wanted to ask that after first year (XI) there will be much time for me to practice something.....So is there a thing that I can learn on my own...... so that it might help me later........Late to the party but to throw my two cents.

I know you are, a Comp Sci degree will prepare for any and all majors be it web development, programming or game development. You need to start from basics and develop yourself. You won't graduate after second year, what I'm saying is after your second year in your Comp Sci degree you will have a reasonable enough grasp to start working on your own small projects. I don't know much about uni's in Pakistan as I don't live there but for Comp Sci, FAST and NUST are usually the most recommended.Thanks yaar. Really appreciated.

Hacker rank and Leetcode are great websites where you can improve your programming skills. Similarly, if you are interested in the graphics side, try your hand at Photoshop, Illustrator etc. I'm not too well versed in the 3D animation world, but [MENTION=42632]EternalBlizzard[/MENTION] will be able to guide you on that.I also wanted to ask that after first year (XI) there will be much time for me to practice something.....So is there a thing that I can learn on my own...... so that it might help me later........
Starting to think he is trolling. Does he even read replies properly?I'm not too well versed in the 3D animation world, but @EternalBlizzard will be able to guide you on that.
guys the biggest yapper in the Industry right now. All he do is yapSolitarySoldier said:Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol
