| Game designers are the brains behind the video games we all play. Lead designers guide the development of the game by conceptualizing the game's look, feel and play characteristics. Other game designers will work on specific elements like sections of multilevel games or story boards. Here are a few possible careers a graduate with a game design degree might pursue: | | Game designers are the brains behind the video games we all play.
