  • Conclusion 

If you have spent your weekends immersed in the world of a video game, you can imagine how powerful and fulfilling the work behind game development can be. Whether it’s a child learning to create with those tiny blocks in Minecraft or your mom’s excitement on clearing another level in Candy Crush, video games offer a world of escape from the boredom and stress of everyday life.  Consider having a job that pays you well (Indeed states the average salary of a game designer as $94,650) for imagining fantasy worlds and powerful characters, you would certainly be interested in learning more about game designing. 

But what is game designing and how is it different from game art? The intersection between the technical aspects of game development and its artistic vision is where a game designer is required. So they should be good at computer science, programming, creative writing, and graphic design.

All this sounds very promising but there is an immense amount of patience and persistence required from a designer. Since your work would require you to generate concepts and work with a multitude of professionals (actors, sound engineers, programmers, etc.) to make the game flow perfectly, you will need to start learning how it all works. We have scoured the internet and spotted some amazing courses for you to study and hit the play button on your game design career!
