An interesting idea. Not sure how many 11-16 year olds are on this forum...

Depends on time of year...when work experience or CAO deadlines are coming up it jumps.

I guess this competition is for UK citizens only?

Hey Guys.
We have been just uploaded a fair few new screenshots to our Facebook page.

You can see them here

I am particularly fond of this one, which is from the area we are working on at the moment.

Hope you like them.

Hi jediboy:

yes, liked it too and it's got a lot of votes, however the rule for the competition was that it ends on that monday at 23:59 and it just seemed wrong to brake it.
By the way if anyone wants to help with the organization please contact me, this would move way faster if we had more hands

Also kudos to Alan Grace(of Pixelwolf), he is now doing some work on the website ( ie we ll start adding information about the games)

Cheers

Just my 2 cents.

Hi Smiley.

Firstly: The course landscape is changing fast, so any advice you get here may be irrelevant a year from now.

Secondly: Just because you are not doing art does not mean you cannot get a portfolio together. You could get yourself to some life drawing classes over the summer or just draw, draw, draw and save all the stuff you dont hate.

In fact, you could go one better, download Blender (a free 3D modeling tool) and get some tutorials or a book. You could even get some simple Game Dev software like Unity or GameMaker and build a small game.

In terms of looking at courses, I would say Ballyfermot or Pulse are the closest to what you are looking for. Stick you neck out and see if you can sit in on a week of classes next year. Get a feel for them. If you can't do that see if you can get in contact with next years batch of students and see what their work is like.

Hi, I'm in 5th year and would like some advice on what college courses to look into. I'm hoping to go into 3D modeling or graphic design for video games but was unable to do art so I don't have a portfolio. I do do Technical Graphics so I have a portfolio for that (if it's relevant). I'd prefer a course in Dublin that would set me in the right direction, but any help would be appreciated.
