Video Game Design Jobs and Call of Duty 4

Posted date: June 24, 2008 In: Misc | comment : 29

This site does a lot about playing Call of Duty 4 and the strategy aspects of the game; but have you ever considered what goes into designing and creating such a great game? It took two years, a team of over one hundred people and millions of dollars to create Call of Duty 4. We take the huge amount effort required to create these games for granted, because all we have to do is pop a disk in and play. All that work is not for free though, video game companies and their employees reap huge profits from creating a successful title. For people like myself, who love video games, creating them for a living would be a dream job. Before you take that huge jump into getting a job in video games you have to consider many things, like applying to a video game design college.

So what goes into designing Call of Duty 4? And more importantly what does it take to become a video game designer? Video game design takes place at many different levels. The video game creation team needs to coordinate game mechanics, programing, graphics creation, audio and tons of other things. To organize everything video game design is generally centered around a core plan written before any work is done. That plan is a living document and is heavily modified and adjusted as time goes on and the game is tested. Once the plan is written you get on to the real hands on work. There are programmers writing code, artists designing graphics, audio engineers recording the soundtrack and writers creating the script and storyline for the game. This group of people are the ones that make that abstract plan into an actual working game. Jobs doing this hands on work is where there is the most demand for motivated and skilled individuals.

So what do you need to do to become a video game developer? Well if you are reading this far down into the article you definitely have some sort of motivation and aspiration to get a career in the video game industry, so you have that out of the way. What you might not have right now is the education and skills to do the actual work. Technical skills like computer animation, C++ programming, 3D engine architecture, artificial intelligence, and many many others. These are obviously complex fields and to learn about them you are going to need to get a formal education at a school totally devoted to video game design. If you have any interest in video game development just fill out this simple form to start the process to become a video game designer.

I hope you found this interesting and I wish you luck with your ambitions in the field of game design.
