  52. How to Succeed in LAFS  Be your own Career Entrepreneur  3 Keys:  Devotion  Persistence  Re-invention
  53. This is a College Class Studying game development at college is still college study.  Take Notes  Study  Read
  54. Take Notes Having one of these is a minimum requirement. At all times.
  55. Study  Review the Lecture Notes  Think  Understand  Reflect and Connect
  56. Assignments If you can’t be bothered to:  be creative  strive for originality even within established norms or constraints  look beyond your initial idea  actually enjoy and actively want to do the above Then get used to the phrase “Would you like fries with that?”
  57. Assignments Word counts are there for a reason. Use them wisely and avoid:  Padding  Going off topic  Repeating yourself  Padding by stating the obvious in a way that takes quite a lot of words but really isn’t saying anything new  Repeating yourself but in a different way  Padding, wadding, lining, extemporising, extraneous content or going on any other kind of Synonym Safari TM
  58. Assignments “On Time” means 5 minutes early. Unless the stakes are really high, in which case it means 24 hours early. Or a week early. Pssst....Sometimes developers make false internal deadlines to avoid calamity such as missed milestone payments. Maybe you could do the same if graduation is at stake?
  59. Tests  Study for your tests! Refer to the slides.  If you see on a slide, it will probably be on the test.  If you don’t know the answer to a test question, guess!  There are no points deducted for wrong answers on multiple-choice questions  I will award some points for clever or knowledgeable answers on short-answer questions, even if they weren’t the answer I was looking for.
  60. School Is Your Job Yes, these are important:  Part-time work  Family  Friends  Fun But don’t neglect your school work!
  61. Gamer
  62. Professional Gamer Team Newbee – China Total earnings: $1,005,661 each Valve’s International Dota 2 Competition Lee Jae Dong South Korea $519,086: Starcraft Danil Ishutin Ukraine $452,841: Dota Johnathan Wendel United States $454,919: FPS games Jang Min Chu South Korea $453,926: Starcraft
  63. Gaming Professional John Romero Co-Creator DOOM Id Software T.Q. Jefferson Vice President, Game Production Marvel Studios Kathy Vrabeck President Activision
  64. You may love to play games, but that doesn’t make you a game developer. I love to eat dinner, but that doesn’t make me a chef.
  65. Do You Have Skillz?  Gamers are good at digital interfaces  Gaming professionals are good at both digital and human interfaces
  66. This means communication. With grammar‐Nazis. “...the different ways they done it like in the game play and the scenes ad the props” ...is not communicating and will incur their wrath. Game development is a team sport for Geeks.
  67. All Business is Communication  Publisher to Customer  Developer to Publisher  Boss to Team  Team to Boss  Team Member to Team Member
  68. Good Communication  Precise  Clear  Brief
  69. Written Communication Informal Communication Its cool to werk in gamez.u get too do anything u want & stuff Formal Communication It’s cool to work in games. You get to do anything you want and stuff.
  70. Written Communication  Capitalize the beginning of sentences, names, game titles, and the word “I”  Use proper spelling and punctuation  Put a space between punctuation mark ending a sentence and the start of the next sentence  Don’t use “u” for “you”, or “&” for “and”  Don’t confuse “its” and “it’s”
  71. Attention to detial It matters.
  72. First Rule of Success: Show Up  DON’T BE TARDY  But if you know you will be late, EMAIL ME!  DON’T BE ABSENT  But if you know you will be gone, EMAIL ME!
  73. <<<Expand your horizons>>> Just because it doesn’t have the word GAMES in it, doesn’t mean it’s not going to inspire, inform or be useful to you every day for the rest of your creative life. This is especially true of non‐electronic information such as:  Books  Museums  Art  History
  74. “All I want to do is just pass this class” Classes are not kidney stones. If you think about them in these terms, maybe you’re on the wrong career path?
  75. Impressions Your colleagues and faculty will most likely be your doorway into the industry. How do you want them to think of you? Leave a professional and lasting impression. They’re your first referees, either on paper or via word of mouth.

  3. 3 keys of being a successful entrepreneur:Devotion: Devotion is a word usually reserved for spirituality or an athlete’s dedication.  You need to be disciplined about what you do, devoted to the cause of making your career succeed.Persistence: Being persistent is a habit that will allow you to be one of the rare people not to rely on luck, but to create their own luck. Luck is opportunity X preparation.Reinvention: Re-invention results in new habits. Habits are learned behaviors that become the way you do things. Maintaining GOOD habits forces you to constantly try to adapt, change, watch for opportunity, watch your competition, and maybe most of all, watch yourself getting settled into doing things the same way just because you are comfortable doing that. Get used to getting OUTSIDE of your zone of comfort.
  4. Think: Thinking allows beings to make sense of or model the world in different ways, and to represent or interpret it in ways that are significant to them, or which accord with their needs, attachments, objectives, plans, commitments, ends and desires.Understand: Understanding implies abilities and dispositions with respect to an object of knowledge sufficient to support intelligent behavior.Reflect and Connect: Arguably, the most important aspects of education is to provide students with knowledge that they can transfer in meaningful ways to other aspects of their present or future lives. For example, we do not teach history simply so students can pass a quiz, but so that they can reason better about the world around them.
