Game Designer

My wish is to become a successful games designer and produce my own games with the help of a trustworthy imaginative team.

Is this role right for me?

To do this role, you will need to:

• be able to work in collaboration with multi-disciplinary teams 8
• be able to communicate your vision to artists, programmers, producers, marketing staff, and others involved in the development process 9
• be able to accept constructive feedback on your work 8
• be able to present your ideas both verbally and on paper 9
• be imaginative and creative 10
• have good written and verbal communication skills 8
• have good basic visual design and drawing skills 9
• be reasonably fluent in a range of 2D and 3D graphics and animation packages, such as 3D Studio Max, NUKE or Maya 9
• have some programming skills at least at ‘scripting’ level 1
• have an awareness of the various games platforms and technologies 9
• possess a thorough understanding of game play theory 8

1- 10

1= Weakest 10= Strongest

I have not done any programming or scripting therefor I will either require a scripter or spend time learning the basics of scripting.

I am very imaginative some times it's hard to sleep because I have a wonderful dream or idea that I have to get up and write it down.
