Game Designers use their creativity to design games for a variety of devices and platforms, including PCs, games consoles, mobile phones, and the internet.
Their role is focused on coming up with imaginative story ideas, characters, and gameplay, which they then pitch to the rest of the development team. If the idea is workable, collaborative development will then be carried out on the game’s animation, programming, sound, quality control, and visual design.
Typical duties for a Game Designer could include:
- Coming up with concepts for new and existing games
- Designing everything from the game’s setting, structure, and characters, to objects, rules, and storyline
- Carrying out market research to understand audiences
- Writing game scripts and designing storyboards
- Communicating ideas effectively to the development team
- Working with artists and programmers to build prototypes
- Teaching QA testers about expected gameplay
