Are game developers self taught?
Game developers can come from a variety of backgrounds and may have different levels of formal education. While some game developers are self-taught and have learned programming languages and game design skills on their own, many others have pursued formal education in computer science, game development, or related fields.
Some developers attend specialized schools or universities that offer programs specifically tailored to game development, while others may have backgrounds in fields such as software engineering, computer programming, or graphic design. Ultimately, the paths taken by game developers to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge can vary widely.
