Breaking into the Gaming Industry

I have had a life-long dream of getting into game development. I am going to college next year for a BS in Computer Science, and eventually shall attempt to tackle the technical behemoth known as Graphics Engineering. My only problem is that I don't know where to start. I'm sure I'm not the only one on this journey. Questions: Does anyone have any good and/or thoughtful advice for someone like me who's motivated and willing to do anything to break into the field? Have any suggestions for books to read on anything from game design, programming, or graphics? (I don't know where to look because a lot of books preach bad coding habits and outdated information) Any suggestions on blogs to follow, forums to participate in, or videos to watch?

  • I'm currently in a similar position, only I'm applying for an NC Level 5 course on video games development (I'm Scottish, we have a different way of progression), but its definitely gonna be a while until I become involved in anything, or work for bungie (my dream job :D) but hey, we have to make a game and portfolio of the assets, and I might get into the industry quicker than I think :D
