01:02:04
rpg criminal

01:02:11
i like this guy

01:02:20
@Ronald- It depends on what you want to do in the industry. We will talk about coding in a bit.

01:02:22
That’s what I call a hacker

01:02:30
Do you like to code Ronald?

01:02:42
my dad spoke to me about it

01:02:46
arrest him at once for his crimes. also yay coding

01:02:58
7 day ban

01:03:03

01:03:17
10 year sentence for fudging your dnd rolls

01:03:47
red redemption 3 omg

01:03:51
I don't play video games but I love the art for video games so much so I hope to do art for games in the future

01:03:57
I’m interested in coding though, I’ve always been an artist’s artist so coding is still a foreign language to me.

01:04:00
Used adobe photoshop a lot at times.

01:04:06
same

01:04:20
@Ronald- We have a coding major. We will be talking about that option soon tonight.

01:04:27
send me an email: hverdugo@academyart.edu

01:04:40
awesome

01:04:42
im a minor sir

01:05:55
F in the chat

01:06:45
I had thoughts about becoming a Game Tester.

01:06:56
it’s not bad

01:07:28
those are some rad glasses in the back

01:09:20
Truly outstanding

01:09:22
ACTIVISION

01:09:42
If only I could accomplish such a feat

01:09:59

01:10:12
it looks like a hidden treasure lol

01:10:44
lol

01:10:45
you got the job

01:10:56
crash bandicoot gone wild

01:11:21
Michael Scott lol

01:11:41
im jealous of that chest hair

01:12:06
Im getting a D&D vibe

01:12:25
Pablo- Can you try to be a little more respectful? I am ok with you chatting and all but please try to be respectful.

01:12:32
I apologize

01:13:32
scott, if you see this say hamburger

01:13:37
Yaaass!! indie development

01:13:54
yeeeees!

01:14:09
haha

01:14:10
right

01:14:36
coding is definitely going to be the way to go

01:14:50
if you learned how to code you could built your own engines

01:17:48
scripting lol

01:18:07
love using C#

01:18:13
i should be a designer...

01:18:22
I’ve always been nervous and shied from coding and designing because, I’m terrible with math I always assume that making code was you using a lot of math. Math has always been my weakness lol.

01:19:19
I'm back, I just lost my internet connection.

01:19:46
Programmers create functionality. Designers use functionality. It's highly collaborative and very rewarding when you get the right people together.

01:20:04
the math😔

01:20:31
so if I was a designer, I would make characters, and design levels?

01:20:37
@Jason such a great description!

01:20:50
and mechanics

01:23:31
you mix the art and code together. Best of both worlds.

01:23:53
ok

01:24:39
i would probably just stick to 2d games lol

01:24:54
I can mange both 2d and 3d

01:25:14
Alexander@ or you could do concept art for 3D

01:27:37
what program could I use for designing characters?

01:28:13
I use blender

01:28:29
this is the binding of Isaac lol

01:28:53
this is amazing

01:28:58
@Alexander- To design or program?

01:29:18
design

01:29:30
what engine was this made in

01:29:55
my name is chase btw, im on my stepdads pc

01:30:19
@Alexander- Pen and paper is always great. I know many people are using Ipad right now and procreate. I also see people on WACOM tablets using Photoshop.

01:30:33
ok

01:30:35
@Alexander- Got it Chase!

01:30:41
Thanks for being here.

01:30:45
you guys are awesome

01:30:48
May I recommend a few programs I know of?

01:30:59
yes

01:31:33
a few popular ones a Fire Alpaca, hat one can also be used for animation, Clip Studio Paint, which is 80 bucks, Sai.net which is 50 I thibk, as well as krita which is free

01:31:52
I’d love to do concept art for a game like GOW

01:32:06
ok thanks!

01:32:07
Im not a big fan of krita though, personally I find it's interface a bit irritating to figure out, but there are always tutorials. theres also a lot of free apps for your phone.

01:32:12
mhm no problem

01:32:23
ok then

01:32:34
Medibang Paint is another app from Fire Alpaca, it is essentially a darker version of FA

01:32:56
free?

01:33:20
procreate is 9.99

01:33:31
the only software I use as of now

01:33:37
Yes the lounge is part of the school

01:34:13
do you guys hold smash bros tournaments

01:34:21
We do

01:34:22
I am a huge SF shock fan

01:34:27
id play steve

01:34:48
love SF

01:34:51
i play on ps4 so i cant play smash lol

01:36:00
I don’t live in Cali so I feel like I’ll miss out on things that are on campus

01:36:30
but I think it’ll still be worth it if I go to the school

01:36:55
@Ronald- Send me an email. We have some cool online events t show you what is like to be an online student.

01:36:57
Esport sounds really awesome to go into.

01:37:03
I struggle

01:37:04
hverdugo@academyart.edu

01:37:11
For David: What did you animate on Evolution?

01:37:12
im thinking of a game where you play as s ghost and posses different objects to help a monster through a course. Anybody here can help me with that?

01:37:22
How would someone who wants to get into designing narratives for games best go about that?

01:37:29
from autism and find game development hard

01:37:42
I like simple 2d art

01:38:05
Is it realistic for someone with very little drawing experience to try for a concept artist?

01:38:06
The great thing about esports now is that we have been able include everyone from Online and On Campus to participate.

01:38:08
@alexander, what type of game? rpg?

01:38:25
a game about a ghost

01:38:31
he helps a monster

01:38:36
that doesn't really help, like what genre?

01:38:41
through courses

01:38:42
I like the Esports and 3D art.

01:38:44
For The concept Artists, are there storyboarding segments

01:38:52
it will be 2d

01:38:58
You can also join our Discord Server http://discord.gg/ArtUEsports to start getting into our game nights and tournaments!

01:39:02
in their lessons?

01:39:12
like murdered: soul suspect type of game alexander?

01:39:19
that still isn't very helpful, like is it a puzzle platformer??

01:39:19
idk

01:39:25
yes

01:39:59
hverdugo@academyart.edu sent the email sir

01:40:02
except you don't play as the person going through course

01:40:06
Sounds great!

01:40:17
can u help?

01:40:25
its just an idea

01:41:12
@Michael Witzel have you met members of the San Francisco Shock? just curious.

01:41:23
figure out what platform you want to build it for then you'll know which engine you want to use

01:41:53
I think one of you greatest tools for staying connected with all the other students and instructors is our Discord Server!

01:42:06
maybe ps4 so i can test and have skill at it

01:42:08
We have worked with SF Shock

01:42:19
I am greatly interested in being behind the art aspect of games but would also like to learn about the programming as well. What kind of classes should I be focusing on for something like this?

01:42:24
That's so cool. I'm a huge fan of the OWL

01:42:41
you guys want to exchange socials?

01:42:51
try unreal engine, its free and its coding is easier to use

01:42:54
yeah we have run events with the SF Shock, and have a close relationship with them

01:43:00
I already have it

01:43:06
my instagram is @ronnycreates

01:43:15
but how do i make a 2d on unreal?

01:43:18
@jayson Covar make sure you work hard in your math courses, and see if your school offers computer science or programming courses

01:43:20
many of our esports students work with them for many of the events they run.

01:44:23
paper 2d for unreal

01:44:27
ok

01:44:38
is that a download or no

01:45:01
What would be the primary things to focus on (or could help) when you want to become a Game Designer with a focus on designing narratives for games?

01:45:20
Visual Development Major for Film and TV

01:45:21
idk

01:45:24
Concept Art for Game

01:45:38
probably concept art for 2d games

01:46:18
@Niraj Shah, we have offered courses on VR and AR as there are a lot of overlapping concepts and technology

01:46:36
I should say we do offer them, they're not gone or anything :)

01:46:43
man these places are going to be saturated with ppl who want to do the same thing. I’m going to have to prove myself, I know the industry must be tricky.

01:47:54
I am an architect graduated last year and I want to have different skill set for my career in game design, specificialy in environment art. Is there certification option that offers a specialization rather than taking all courses?

01:48:27
For David: What did you animate on Evolution?

01:48:43
I have learned show much

01:48:59
he’s mute

01:48:59
lol

01:49:48
Is There a segment for Storyboarding in the concept art portion of Game development?

01:50:00
Wonderful that’s great news for me, thank you!

01:50:21
great I’m on the right track then!!!

01:50:25
Who here plays little big planet?

01:50:57
Thanks Jason and Scott that’s such a relief

01:51:21
lol mobile

01:51:25
ayyyyy

01:51:31
LOL yeah my backlog is insane

01:51:43
GOT is beautiful

01:51:44
I 100%'ed Ghost of Tsushima.

01:51:53
spider man for the ps4 was a game i 100%

01:51:58
I beat call of duty advanced warfare in 5 hours

01:52:09
and beat it at 3 am

01:52:15
I'm still stuck on dark souls III

01:52:36
if I didn’t have a laptop/computer which would you recommend to get?

01:52:54
what is the link of the shrek website!??!?!?!?

01:53:04
@Micheal Witzel Is Esport best the way to get noticed by game companies in the Bay Area?

01:53:16
Very cool

01:53:29
My Dad didn't like Minority Report. He said it was unrealistic. Lol.

01:53:44
^ bruh

01:53:49
who decides on what new titles come out? it might be a stupid question, but who says huh we should make this?

01:54:09
shrek link now please.

01:56:33
@miles If you are trying to get into their community developments teams, sure. but if you are trying to get hired for being a Designer, Programmer, Concept Artist, etc, then doing the best you can in school, and network as much as possible is the best way possible.

01:56:44
so a lot of the games that were pitched that didn’t fall through are essentially cancelled titles.

01:56:45
who plays geometry dash here?

01:57:24
i love this guy lol

01:57:31
using esports events to network is good to for meeting the other people that may get hired at those companies. or already work there.

01:57:35
also can you guys drop your instagrams as well? if you use them.

01:57:36
@Micheal Witzel Thank you

01:58:14
been s long time

01:58:19
What's a project you really struggled with in your careers?

01:58:20
you are welcome!

01:59:10
As a concept artist, what are some ways to get your portfolio seen by art directors if you don't necessarily have any contacts? Aside from just contacting them cold?

01:59:33
that’s a good question

01:59:35
that sounds like an incredible class!

02:00:11
if you can see this say pizza

02:00:27
🍕

02:00:40
lol

02:00:50
pizza time

02:01:12
aww fooey, but that's cool too. Ive been working on a story I started way back in 2010,and drew them all out as amateur comics, 41 chapters in all

02:01:57
Who in the game industry comes up with the ideas of new games or get ideas for games?

02:02:20
I am an architect graduated last year and I want to have different skill set for my career in game design, specificialy in environment art. Is there certification option that offers a specialization rather than taking all courses?

02:03:10
Thanks

02:03:17
“ It’s not who is right it’s what’s right”

02:03:27
would an idea for a game (2d) where you play as a ghost and help a monster through a obstacle course be good?

02:04:52
Thank you.

02:05:33
@Alexander most ideas can be good or bad, it's where you take the idea that counts!

02:05:48
ok thanks

02:05:59
Flesh out that idea! Write out some ideas. Draw some levels. Build it with board game pieces and see if you can play it out in some form

02:06:11
ok then

02:06:36
Or even get some people together to play-act the mechanics :)

02:06:54
I can use a program called scratch to make a prototype

02:07:05
^ yeah that's a good idea

02:07:17
I'll have to leave the zoom early, thank you for an enjoyable session. goodbye, can't wait for the recording.

02:07:39
How different is animation in film to games?

02:07:40
you need 0 coding experience

02:08:36
scratch needs 0 coding experience, could I use it for prototypes?

02:09:03
@Alexander we used to teach scratch in early classes but honestly I've never used it so I couldn't say

02:09:16
u just place blocks

02:09:25
and it does things

02:09:33
its 2d

02:09:47
but laggy

02:10:05
