Any Game Developers on Sherdog?

I get out of the Air Force next year and I'm considering doing a bunch of random things with the GI Bill. I have always been passionate about video games so one thing I am considering is going to a school like SCAD and majoring in interaction design + game development. From my understanding, game developers use C++ mostly, and while I've never used C++, I have some experience with coding as I've been studying web development for the past year.

So, what else do you guys do exactly besides coding? What all goes into making video games? How do you like being a game developer?
