Today we are going to look at Game Design Careers. If you remember two classes ago, you looked at a really cool Game Design Job Flow Chart. At the bottom of that flow chart there were EIGHT different jobs in the Game industry.
1. Quality Assurance
2. Programmer
3. Artist
4. Game Designer
5. Level Designer
6. Narrative Designers
7. Producer
8. Audio Engineer
Please pick THREE of these to do further research on. Make sure that when you do your research, that you specify game design for each of these. For example, an Audio Engineer might work in a variety of fields, but specifically what would a game design audio engineer do.
Once you pick three you should do a google search for that career and answer the following questions. I will have a few links to help out below, if you are struggling. Please make sure you answer these questions for THREE CAREERS!! Make a new subpage on your Google Site and answer the following questions for ALL THREE careers you wanted to explore more fully.
1. What is the career track called?
2. What interests you about that career?
3. Was that career one of the ones that the Flow Chart you looked at last class indicated would be a good fit for you?
4. Find a job description for your career and share it with me. Please put this in your own words. What would someone do if they worked in that job?
5. What kind of education does that career require?
6. Search and find two different post-secondary schools you could attend to get the required education for your selected job. List them here with a link to their website.
7. How much does that job pay, on average?
8. What are some specific skills you will need to be successful at the career?
