Game Design-One Gamer’s Option
Many gamers these days are studying game design. One of the reasons is obviously the love of gaming, but another is money. Game design positions can pay you quite well and can be a long term career vs. just a job.
If you are one of the gamers who decides to go this route, your job options will be endless.
Just as in game testing, there are many game design jobs to choose from.
I want to give you just a sample of one and keep in mind that the link may be gone by the time you read this post.
This particular job is with Insomniac Games in North Carolina.
Here is a sample of what this particular position would require you to do:
• Design game levels and all enemies and objects specific to those levels.
• Communicate designs visually and verbally to other team members, by possibly creating 2D maps of game levels, 3D roughs of game objects and level, documenting of gameplay functionality and design plans, document expected behavior(s) and functionality of entities
• Create detailed specs describing concept, content, assets, rules and behavior(s), constraints, etc.
• Evolve and tune game mechanics into fun, intuitive features that are player centric.
• Implement designed elements or oversee implementation of designed elements.
• Test gameplay and use results to tune gameplay, to make the game more enjoyable
Here is a link to the full job posting: Insomniac Job Posting
Many design positions require either a degree or at least work related experience in the field. So if you’re going to go this option just keep that in mind. Obviously you won’t get the experience you need unless you either find a company who doesn’t require a degree nor experience. Or you get your degree.
So if design is your field, just remember there are a ton of job options for you to choose from.
