I was asked to investigate the skills I will need to pursue a career in Games Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The skills I require will be things such as level design, narrative design and game creation, things like coding and graphic design would be useful aswell, some of these things I have learned so far and others I can learn in the future, these will all be useful for the creation of the games in my future career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Skillset required:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Level Design<\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrative Design<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prop Creation<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coding<\/p>\n\n\n\n Character Creation<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Level Design will be useful as I aspire to be a level designer when I am older, I want to go into this career path, and this is what I am studying towards, meaning that this skill will be extremely useful for me to learn, and would help me move forwards throughout Uni and my future career, I aim to create a game in the near future and work extensively to broaden my level designing skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Narrative Design would also be a useful skill to have as it is my secondary career path, I also find it interesting to create storylines that intertwine and have various different plotpoints and characters, settings ect, i am inspired by Tolkien and tend to take various elements from his works into my own, such as the inclusion of fantasy races such as orcs and elves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prop creation is another skill I wish to learn, as it is something that will be useful in any future projects I undertake, as prop creation can range from anything such as a 2D rock to a 3D sword, these are seperate from character creation but are often just as vital to create a coherent game which plays and runs well, if games didn’t have these props in them they would be barebones and empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coding is something I am attempting to work on at the moment, and will be essential to my future career path, I wish to code a game which has solid character movements , animations, random room generation and level generation, all of these elements will require various skills of coding, which I am attempting to achieve, aswell as broadening what I already know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Character creation is another essential skill I wish to learn, as characters make and break games, they are integral to the majority of games as the player character and enemies often define a game for what it is, a game like Dark Souls wouldn’t be as interesting if the enemies weren’t so varied and uniquely created, often having extremely detailed and advanced designs I wish to learn this skill as it will be very helpful in game creation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was asked to investigate the skills I will need to pursue a career in Games Design.
