A game designer is a person who designs gameplay, conceiving and designing the rules and structures of a game. It is essentially the game equivalent to a screenwriter. The term applies to the designer of any game, whether a video game or tabletop games such as board games or card games. The alternative term "games inventor" is sometimes used, especially in the context of traditional games.

If I want to become a video game designer, do I have to have to have good art skills?
Q. I'm not artistic, but I want to become a video game designer. Is there a position in that field that doesn't need art skills? I know about video game testers, but I'm talking about design. Would it come in handy to take art classes? What classes should I take in high school? Thanks!

A. Maybe you can try programming because most of the game design companies requires a programmer. Or you can also be a scriptwriter or an interface designer for a game. Good luck
