Geoffrey’s Answer
Video games are created by an amazing collaboration between many different disciplines. Artists, programmers, storytellers, and Project Managers all come together to make a video game. They typically use a game engine like Unreal Engine or Unity to bring all of the visual/audio assets and code together to be rendered in real time on your screen. If you're interested in making games, it's probably worthwhile to consider if you lean towards any of those disciplines. The great thing about the industry is that there's a place for people with many different talents.

Game design is a large field, drawing from the fields of computer science/programming, creative writing, Story Telling, and graphic design(Animators, BG Design, Character Design). Game design is a subset of the field of video game development. Game design is a field with a broad focus. As such, the skills of a game designer are drawn from the fields of computer science and programming, creative writing, and graphic design. Game designers take the creative lead in imagining and bringing to life video game stories, characters, gameplay, rules, interfaces, dialogue and environments. This being the case, a game designer is a cross between a writer, artist, and programmer. It is an individual who presents a comprehensive artistic vision, while also possessing the technical skill to oversee and contribute to programming, image rendering, level design, digital editing and other construction aspects of game design.
