Take the 2-minute tour ×  I know someone who is thinking about
getting into game design, and I wondered, what does the job game
designer entail? what tools do you have to learn how to use?
what unique skills do you need? what exactly is it you'd do from
day to day. I may be wording this a bit wrong because I'm not
sure if the college program is become a game designer or learn
game design. but I think the same questions apply either way.

someone and they've practically decided this is not a good
direction for them. I didn't really think it was anyways. But I
couldn't speak eloquently on the topic. –  xenoterracide Nov 12
