Q: Is it possible to get a quality self taught education that will lead to employment in #gamedev?
A: Yes since since there are many examples but for those starting out, it's useful to understand what makes traditional institutions effective 1/6
1) Rough assessment of your current knowledge base and skill level. 2) Structured curriculum based on the above 3) Internalization of knowledge via repeated exposure/practice (assignments) and interval recall (tests, quizzes) 4) Assessment of progression (grades, critique) 2/6
5) Progression via more challenging classes and courses as you advance 6) Motivation via peers with shared interests, cooperation and competition. Also tuition. With that being said, one could possible create structure for themselves by attempting to address the above: 3/6
1) Ask someone to honestly assess your current skill level. Brutally if necessary. Go get your portfolio reviewed by numerous pros and see what are the common things they say about your work. 2) Plenty of online resources. 4/6
3) set aside time at least 4 days a week. do both short and long term assignments. Focus on more of the former. Check your skills with the latter. 4) Join an online community and find a few people you trust to get feedback 5) Same as #2 5/6
6) Possible to address with #4. Better if you have peers you can meet with face to face and have dialogue. Both traditional institutions and self learning require discipline. The former benefits from alleviating the labor of creating structure from the individual. 6/6
right on, school for me was more of a structure and a reason to set aside dedicated time to practice.
