What is required is that you have a passion for games, talent, and a desire to create original, high-quality work. 不是的。有相关经验固然很有帮助，但不是必要的。我们想要有来自不同背景的学生， 不同的兴趣，以及不同程度的游戏制作经验。 真正必要的是你对游戏的热情、天份、和 那股想要创造出原创、高品质作品的欲望。 4) What type of background of applicants does NYU Game Center's looking for? 请问纽约大学游戏设计所在找怎样背景的申请者呢？ Games are highly inter-disciplinary.
