Q. I wanted to make a computer game, like diablo, wow, runescape. Ive been lookin for game design colleges in utah and ive seen curses for graphic design and such but I want a class that shows you how to make your own game, how to start scripting, coding, mapping, creating a base to your first game. Anyone know what the exact name for this course would be? Thanks.
A. That's not a course, that's about at least 3 different courses, and if you wanted it to be 3D, you're looking at minimum 10 courses. (I'm not kdding).
Your best start would be a programming class, and choosing a language to program in. Next, you would have to choose a platform. (PC, mobile, web, Flash) and focus on learning the commands for the programming language it uses. If you want it to have graphics, you'll need some sort of art class, or at the least, a class that teaches you Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator. If you wanted it in 3D, you'd need to take classes in 3D modeling and 3D animation. If you wanted spell effects, you'd take a digital effects and compositing course. Then of course you'd need to learn how to incorporate all those things into the game and have it recognize commands (more programming classes).
The amount of work that goes into creating a game is enormous, and you simply can't learn it all in one class. My source page has information on the importance of college in the game industry, and if you want to learn all that, you'll probably want to go to college (Major in computer science, minor in art).

Do you think I can get into game design with a Studio Art & Graphic Design degree?
Q. I have all these great ideas for computer games (competitive online game style games with themes) but when I look up things about "Graphic Design" I see it being more about people making advertisements and labels.
I'd hate to think I am wasting my time by getting this degree.
