A game designer works under the direction of a lead designer and may be responsible for creating and designing characters in a new game, writing stories for each of the characters while providing practical input about how the game plays. They must also determine  whether or not the game if fun to play and whether it provides a joyful experience to the player. Because the nature of the job is usually collaborative, computer game designers may be given a variety of tasks based on their individual talents or on what needs to be accomplished in any specific stage of game development.

Education:

Designers may need a bachelor's degree, especially if they're planning to work for a large game studio. Although some schools offer a degree in game design, aspiring game designers can get the necessary training from computer science, software engineering, or related degree programs. 

Demand for this particular career:

In order to become a video game designer you must be able to collaborate with a variety of people. Must be able to communicate your vision to other artists, producers, programmers, marketing staff and others involved in the development process. Must be imaginative and creative, as well as have good basic visual design and drawing skills. Must also have high level knowledge when it comes to programming.

Daily Student Success Statement

Daily Student Success Statement  "Character is higher than intellect" -Ralph Waldo Emerson  Reflection: I agree with this quote, as I personally like it. This quote is saying that  having a good personality is more important than being a  smart person. So it's technically  saying that although intelligence is important, being nicer to others is more important. So it doesn't matter how smart you are, your kindness is all that matters. So if you don't go to college and not get a job and you end up homeless as long as your nice, everything will be great. So be nice, being kind matters most. It's like if they check someone's grade, and a person has an A in a class but U for behavior and another person has a B but an E in conduct, they will choose  the person with the lowest grade. So don't forget to behave well, have good character. This is all because grades shouldn't be your priority. Behavior and good character should be your priority.

Daily Student Success Statement

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right." -Dean Smith  Reflection:  What I believe this quote means is that you shouldn't do something just so people can like you, you should do it because it's the right thing to do. Instead of doing things for attention you should do it for your own good.

Try to remember that someday people will forget what you did and not remember any of your past actions, but even if they forget what you did the change you made to help the world will always be there. Popularity won't last forever, but everything you have done to help your environment, community, or peers will remain there fo...

Student Success Statement

 Student Success Statement I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor,' I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me given my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of the circle? No, never! I'd die first." -Karl G Maeser Reflection: I agree with this quote because it tells us that keeping our promise is very important. Making a promise not only affects you, but also the person you made a promise to. They depend on you keeping that promise. If you do not keep that promise you might harm them or take away an opportunity from them. Not only do you harm them you also lose their trust.. By breaking your promise, chances are they will never trust you again. And if for some reason there is an emergency or a valid excuse...
