What education do the Sins developers have?

from Sins Forums
I'm interested in Game Development and was wondering if any of the Sins developers went to a College and took Game Design, a University and took Computer Science, taught themselves, or did something else to get to the level of skill that they needed to become developers for Sins?

Thanks,

You would be surprised how many game programmers DON'T have Comp Sci degrees, or for that matter, programmers in general. Not saying you shouldn't get your degree, no no, you should....but if you have one, it can generally only help. You're better bet is to start learning DirectX/OpenGL in your free time, as well as polishing up on your advanced trig and maybe even some calculus. You should be getting all the requisite math education along with your degree. After that it's just a matter of getting in at an entry level position somewhere (probably doing tools), then moving in to the different areas of game programming as you pick up experience.
