“You can make an amazing game but you can’t make a success, your players make the success.” ~Imre Jele Game Design is the art of applying design and aesthetics to create a game for entertainment or for educational, exercise, or experimental purposes. Increasingly, elements and principles of game design are also applied to other interactions, particularly virtual ones. There are as many kinds of video games as there are people. This means that game designers can often choose to work on the kinds of games they enjoy playing. Creating a video game also typically requires a great deal of team effort. With a technology degree in game design and development, you may have the opportunity to work with a team of video game experts who are just as excited about the industry as you are.Career Path
