Becoming a games designer is not easy, you will need to learn new ways of programming as well as taking time to study what the public want and how you can give them that in a game.

I have spent quite some time researching in to what makes a good games designer and have come up with a few hints and tips for the game design beginners and maybe a few for the experienced ones too.

Never stop learning – Technology advances so quick year on year, it is said that it doubles every three years or so I can only see this increasing in coming years. You need to stay ahead of your game when it comes to design and programming. Take time to learn about new consoles, platforms and gadgets that are hitting the market that you may need to consider.

Don’t get caught up in the details – it can be easy to waylay a project for far too long because yo are too concerned with the details. Get the project to a point you are happy with and get it completed you can always add extras in to a second addition.
