Want to know how to break into the gaming industry? This guy has some pretty damn good advice and it comes from someone with over a decade in the business. Definitely worth the click to check it out.

Students are often introduced to the concept of working in the industry simply by enjoying the games that they love and daydreaming about being a part of the process. Being a gamer is a great start, but there is much more that can be done right now to understand the market.

Or you could watch Extra Credits. These guys have the most insight on how to get into the industry and what you need to get off the ground. Here's just a sample of their episodes, and they release a new one each week. I really recommend watching their show as nearly every episode has something to learn.

"So you want to be a game developer Part 1"

"Part 2"
