Sukhminder’s Answer

As a game designer, you'll bring ideas, build prototypes, create interactive narration and develop the game's mechanics. You'll design systems that are easily maintainable, expandable and comfortable to use, while injecting fun into the user experience.

Brainstorm new game ideas that would engage a wider audience.
Outline the game's concept and storyboard the overall game experience.
Develop characters and plots based on the storyboard of the game.
Develop the code necessary for a game to work.

Shane’s Answer

It all depends on what type of game you are working on or what the job description is you are applying to. You could be designing combat and AI or you could be working on the story and assets for a level. No matter what you work on you will breakdown how your idea will work in the game and what will be needed to achieve your idea.

Check out Gamedev map(https://gamedevmap.com/) and check out what certain companies are looking for in video game designers. I would also find your favorite game companies and contact some of the people working as designers to see what their day to day consists of. Don’t expect everyone to answer you back but if you show that you are interested in becoming a designer in the future, some will be willing to give you information.

Sri’s Answer

Andrew,
Video Game designer is a creative artist (graphic designers) responsible for designing framework and structure of the Game. I bet they should be good story teller with lots of imagination. On the technology front, they should have a degree in Graphic Design, CS or Computer Engineering. Also, Game designers have a lot of say over the look and feel of a game. All the best, if you are pursuing this career.
