Game Developer – Design your imagination


A game developer tends to be predominantly artistic individuals, meaning that they are creative and original and work well in a setting that allows for self-expression which influences and persuade others with their work.
Gaming developer or programmers help write and code the software for video games. In this job, you'll typically be part of a collaborative creative team that includes game designers and artists. Your work will primarily be in the area of coding, which tells the computer or system what to do for the game to be played.


As a gaming programmer, you might design core game features, oversee game testing and conduct design reviews. You could also work in production, artistic concept, and gameplay. This career allows for great creativity, but the competition for jobs is intense.
For that the major key skills required to become a video the game developer is as follows:
·         Creativity
·         A passion for video games
·         Wide-ranging knowledge of gaming trends
·         Strong analytical frame of mind
·         Ability to work as part of a team
·         Proficiency in programming languages, such as C# and C++
If you wish to become a video game designer? Follow these six steps:
1.        Get an Education (find quality training)
2.      Get more familiar with Game Design
3.       Land a game design internship (or volunteer)
4.      Apply for game design jobs
5.      Crush the hiring process (screenings & interviews)
6.      Start building your game design portfolio
The major skills and qualification which you need will be as follows:
1.        Qualification – You need to have a bachelor’s degree in computer science, game design or game development which includes programming languages, algorithms, software engineering, graphics, data structures, and mathematics.  
2.      Knowledge of 2D and 3D design – this helps them to create designs and majorly game designers work with 2D and 3D design tools to create game assets and implement existing assets into the game.
3.       Programming – depending upon the game design a designer need to have knowledge of multiple programming like C#, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Swift, and another programming languages.
4.      Analytical Thinking – game developers analyze the requirements their targets want them to determine how to implement designs and write code for a functional game.
5.      Problem-Solving Skills – they need to think critically to solve problems when debugging problematic game code, to optimize the gaming performance.
6.      Organization Skills – collaborating with game designers and other developers to complete projects successfully and on time requires good organizing skills.
With enough experience, programmers also have the opportunity to become software developers. While some duties between these two positions overlap, developers typically spend more time designing and conceptualizing games, rather than coding them.
Gaming programmers face stiff competition in the job market, so they must prepare themselves with high-level math courses, programming courses, bachelor's degrees, portfolios, and internships hoping to land entry-level positions that will lead them to higher positions in the programming world.
