Guys, you pretty much convinced me of staying in uni, and the other reason is that I'm too afraid to drop out. <_<
I'll let them suck another 9000.
I just want to ask you one off-topic question:
How did you find time doing side projects while in uni. Because I find this absolutely impossible for me to do. I just have too many coursework stuff. Sometimes when I decide to miss a few lectures, I kind of spend a little bit on my game, but then this is missing the point because I'm paying for these lectures. There should be another solution.
btw, I found some cool amateur indie projects and I can easily team-up with some people and I would reeeeaally like to do this . I also have much more work to do on my game. But I can't find any time at all. Even four or five hours is too much, and I'm talking about weekends. I always have some coursework that I need to submit and there is always something to refine and refine till forever. :wacko:
But then there are game studios that need 2nd year students for internships and I was wondering how do other people do it and even manage to land internships for the summer :o . I asked some of the smartest co-nerds at my uni and nobody has any time for side projects.(or they lie, which I doubt), but my uni is not game-oriented at all, so they don't have to worry about that, only I.
It seems I'm the only one that does side projects.(2-3 hours a week, sometimes 10-15 hours if I miss lectures, which I try not to do). The only time that I would be able to invest in my projects is during the Christmas vacation. (and I have 2 courseworks for that vacation)
For example, today I decided to spend just one hour on my game, and guess what, it's 3 AM now and I will definitely miss the 9 AM lecture tomorrow. :(
Is the fault somewhere in my schedule, or is everybody the same? How was it with you? :huh:
