There are countless ways to pursue a career as a game designer. One option is to take the independent path, or you could consider furthering your education at a college. Online coding boot camps and game design schools are also available, providing you with the essential tools and experience to thrive in this field. Moreover, it's crucial to have a deep passion and appreciation for game design, coupled with a love for hands-on creativity. While the process can be enjoyable and exciting, it can also involve hard work and perseverance. Tasks like bug fixing and troubleshooting may seem tedious at times, but they are integral parts of the journey towards becoming a successful game designer.
