What Does A Game Designer Do?

It takes more than a great vision to be a game designer. A great idea has to be concretized into an enthralling reality. For this, the game designer works with different people and experts who are associated with creating multi-media games. The game designer has to devise the game, program it well, work with the graphics team for the art work, manage the production, work on the design etc. The game designer has to be adept with his programming skills, have a degree in computer science, and also possess the ability to write 2D platform game.

The role of a game designer varies from project to project. There are different types of designers as well. For example, the 'lead designer' makes an overview of the game, works on the script of the game, makes charts and maps on paper or in Photoshop, writes the gaming levels and dialogues, makes the character lists and conceives the levels of the game. The elements of the game are then broken into different categories to be managed by other game designers. For example, the 'cave area' of an adventure game has to be looked after by a particular game designer.
