Um, I'm starting soon to study at a college... Diploma type course, 2 years, expensive as hell (*gag*), but otherwise nice. But anyways the study program is "Game art and Design", a course for people wanting to do games but more the art and writing side than the programmy side, just because I draw better than talking (And confusing) machines. Highly specialized picky school, so its not a "Buy your diploma" type place either.
Anyways, I have heard the game industry is really competitive, and was wondering if there was anyone around the boards who does game stuff. I guess Virtrium can add their two cents here too if they wish. All I want to know is what advice can you give me while I'm studying to better my chances of hopping on board with a company as an intern, and not getting chewed and spit out again.
Or if you have any other advice you think might be helpful, feel free to share.
