What would the name of this job be?

I have always wanted to work in the gaming industry. But I don't know what you would classify this under. I want to come up with the idea for a game, for example an RPG, and I want to write part of ir like the intro, explain what I want it to be about, how it plays and it's features, but can you do all that in one job. And can you enter te gaming industry to become a writer or This un-named job right out of college. Just wondering

  • You mean idea guys [url=http://youtu.be/ug8Jb0JOqNQ]like this[/url]? [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Recon Number 54 An "idea guy"? One that can envision something amazing and then depend on others to create what they imagine? And if it fails, it's the execution of the builders and a failure of them to translate the idea guys vision? Yeah, the whole world needs more of those guys.[/quote]

  • I'd agree with Your MOM is MC - you're describing a writing and design role. To pursue a role like that, you'll want strong writing skills so you can communicate your ideas. Skills like story boarding will also help. Education wise, you'll want to look into either cognitive science programs or go to a vocational school like Full Sail that offers specialized game design programs. However, I'd encourage you to scour over Gamasutra.com for articles related to the game design process to make sure the reality is something you're comfortable with. I tend to hear that games are not the result of a single designer handing material down, but the result of a collaborative process in which design ideas come from all over an organization. Make sure you know what you'd be getting yourself into before you dedicate yourself to this path, then go after it 120%!

  • Sounds a little bit like a writer. You wouldn't have any say on genre or much of how it plays either.
