Congratulations, 8dognight.

And I have been enjoying the chat with Mad Head.

Interesting questions and answers.
Thanks.

Thanks Mad Head Games, I love your games.

We have indeed, but it it far too early to share further information about it at the moment.

Also, we are working on two shooter games, and a hack&slash - we are brancing out im many genres

Dear all,

Thank you for all the questions, comments, suggestions you have shared with us over the past few days. We are so happy to have become a part of the forum, and look forward to new topics we could discuss!

Your questions have truly been refreshing - keep them coming!

That is really interesting news! I would definitely give the hack and slash a try.

We will launch a game dev blog soon, and will let you know how you can contribute to the game as well!

Thanks for letting us know. It would be fun to be able to participate.

I would be interested in knowing where you came up with the name for your company - it's very distinctive and it did stick in my mind right away.

Actually, we don't have any crazy story behind it!

Because we were very devoted to what we did (and still do!), a lot of people thought we were mad since we would spend hours and hours in front of the computer...we lived and breathed games, so the name came naturally

Dear Madhead guys-
I love your games so much, and I have secretly wanted to learn how to make games for a long time. I would love to know how you learned to make games and how a newbie like myself might find a path into game making? (For example, I would love to know what degrees you guys pursued, what it takes to eventually work with a game developer, etc.)

I know you are probably very busy, but I couldn't resist asking while you all are here!

Thank-you so much for your time and for your wonderful games as well!

Tracy

Hi Tracy, thanks for sharing how much you love our games! We hope they attributed to your wish to become more involved in the games industry

As for us, the degree is not what makes a developer - but the skills, talent, and all the hard work put into constant improvement.

Firstly, it is important to know what exactly you would like to do. Is it game design, concept art, modeling, animation, programming?

There are many free softwares, courses, youtube tutorials you can learn from - just decide what interests you the most.

All we can say is - work hard, study a lot, follow what is happening in the industry, and never give up!
