or two ago we received an assignment to research a career we wanted to pursue in the future. Knowing full well what I wanted to do, it wasn't difficult to go straight to the Internet to learn more about video game design. I grew up playing video games as a child, so I already had significant exposure to the genre. As a child I was always drawing and later turned that hobby into a career plan. With these elements together, becoming the person who designs games is like a dream for me. I already knew a few things about game design, like the kinds of things I would do and the time it takes to develop great games. Some things I wanted to know were the salary, the process of making a game, the work environment, the level of education required, and the stress levels I would be under in this career. Experience: To answer these questions we were asked to look at a few different sources, one of which is personal experience or an interview. I chose to take into consideration several video games and analyze them by observing the development of the characters, the graphic quality, the scenarios and the moment in which they were made. All the information I gathered would have been wasted if I hadn't cross-referenced it with the time the development team spent making these games. As expected, I noticed that as the time spent on game development increased, the quality of the game showed a significant improvement.BLS:As another source to consult, we were advised to visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics website (BLS). When I visited the site I typed videogame designer into the search bar and waited for the results. Articles appeared and were written by sources that showed unbiased and fact-based information... middle of paper......to find the stress levels of someone with this job and also the work environment . For the most part, my opinions on being a game designer remained the same throughout my research. At first I was very intrigued by the topic and after the work I feel the same way and even want to know more. Now that I know all this information about video game design, I want to start the path towards this career. My first step will be taking more art classes in high school and then attending Schoolcraft, where I will earn a two-year degree in video game design. I will then transfer to Bowling Green University as indicated above where I will complete my studies. Luckily, BGU has a post-graduation assistance program to help me find work in my field once I finish. I hope that with this plan I can start a successful life as a video game designer.
