I studied computer science in America as an undergraduate. I wanted to go to the game industry very much at that time, but I ended up going to Google after graduation. I would like to ask you your understanding of the game industry and what your current efforts are, which can be divided into the following questions, hoping to enlighten you——

Your interests

• Why do you want to learn game development?
• In addition to playing games, have you ever tried to make your own games/take game related courses?
• If you have tried, you will feel that as a player and developer, you feel very different. What parts of the whole production process do you like and dislike?
• Have you read online or consulted the experience, advantages and disadvantages of the game development post of the predecessors around you?
• If one day you find that the game development post is not what you think, or you no longer like the game development, what is your alternative plan?

What you are good at

• At present, what courses have you taken in college, and what are your scores in each course? Are there any commonalities in the courses you have performed well?
• What abilities do you think an excellent game developer should have?
• As a game developer, what do you think is your advantage?
• Have you ever delivered the internship of game development post? If rejected, what is the feedback from the company's interview?

Future returns

• The current employment situation of game development, and how easy is it to find a job?
• Do you like famous factories or small and medium-sized game studios?
• According to the cases seen on the Internet or those around us, what kind of education background and ability corresponds to what range of salary?
• What cities can accept long-term work and residence?
• What position do you want to be in the workplace in five and fifteen years after graduation?

If you can clearly express your answer to your parents, it will be very convincing. If they still say you don't do your job well..

Then you can do it directly. Wow! As long as you can think clearly and convince yourself, the rest is not a problem.
