Become a Video Game Designer

Home Business Expert: Become a Video Game DesignerVideo Game Design is a rapidly-growing field that offers lots of opportunities. Video game customers are not exclusive to kids anymore, and people can play these games virtually anywhere. If you enjoy video games - and you are creative, methodical and have strong technical skills - being a video game designer may be the perfect career for you.

If you don't already have a video game designed, your first step is to design the game. You will need some software to do this, including game development software, graphics software (Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop are some of the most popular) and 3D modeling software (like 3D Studio Max or LightWave 3D).

Video Game Design Basics

Once you have your design tools, it's time to create your game concept - what is the goal of the game? Sketch what you want the characters and backgrounds to look like and then use the game development software to create them. Build a wire frame of the world and add textures. Use the 3D software to create the characters and objects in the game and assign behaviors to the characters.
