The Ubisoft Campus is a educational institute in the city of Montreal (Quebec, Canada) that specialize in the field of gaming, duh! They have different programs from Level Design to Game Design to 3D Animation, in affiliation with some of the province's colleges and universities. Like I mention in my retrospective, you have to present a portfolio with your candidature, and it needs to be a good one too... a damn good one... if you want to be put on their list of possible candidates. To simply put it, for every 100 candidatures, only half of it will become possible candidates. Furthermore, after interviewing them, only 25 will be taken in. Yep! The openings are pretty small for each programs.
I went to the open house to learn more about the Level Design program, which will give you an college attestation diploma. Since I don't have a college diploma, that's pretty much the only educational level opened to me in their list. Some of current students were there to greet the visitors and answer their questions. I've learned quite a bit about the program and the conditions to be accepted... Although I mind was set, I would never had guessed that later in that afternoon I would renew my interest in becoming of full fledged Game Designer. That's I've meet one of the Game Designer program student. After a long talk with her, I have realized that it would be much better for me to go with the program instead of Level Design. Unfortunately, I would have to get a Baccalaureate to try it out :( .
As you might have guessed, I don't know what to do now... Should I try get a Baccalaureate, which takes about 3 years to complete, and then go for the Game Design program, or should I just go for the Level Design program.
Damn, that's a hard decision to take! Oh well, I guess that I will have to give it a serious thought.
For now, I need to find myself a job... Money doesn't come from trees, you know XD .
