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.

A. Get him an intro to the Basic programming language. This programming language is easy to learn and is a good start into the innards of the computer. He'll probably develop some acquaintances through his activity with the language and they may give him some further clues. Make sure he takes algebra in high school to get a solid concept of writing formulaic statements. Encourage him to have fun with the tools available on his computer. I remember my first game. It was not interactive, just a small rocket ship that started across the middle of the screen firing "ray" guns at an off screen enemy. The ship would go off the screen on one side and come back on the other at the same time running lower and lower on the screen, disappearing… [cont.]

Asked by sarukaze - Mon Feb 23 16:04:59 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hi! I researched both schools before deciding to go to the Academy, which I totally LOVE! Both schools cost about the same thing, I think the Academy is a little bit cheaper. If I were you, I'd go with the school that could help me be what I wanted when I graduated. The Academy doesn't have a game design degree, but you can major in animation & visual effects or illustration and work as a character developer, production artist, 3D artist, rigger or other art centered jobs on games. If you're interested in the artistic side of game development, I don't think you could go to a better school that the Academy. If you're looking for programming, you might want to look into another school. Call the admissions departments of both schools to… [cont.]
