Start Learning

One of the first steps to becoming a game designer is to gain a strong understanding of the principles and practices of video game design.

There are many resources available online that can help you learn about game design, including tutorials, articles, and online courses.

Some of the topics you may want to explore include:

• The foundations of game design, such as game mechanics, level design, and user experience
• The different types of games and game genres, and how they are designed and played
• The tools and software used in game design, including game engines, level editors, and design software

• The process of designing and developing a game, from conception to release

Its very common when big design institutes will deceive you into joining their expensive programs or degrees, but they will instead teach you 3D modeling and vfx instead of game design .

Build A Work Portfolio

Develop your skills and portfolio.
As a game designer, you'll need to be able to demonstrate your creativity and technical expertise.
Consider taking on small game design projects on your own or with a team to build up your skills and create a portfolio of work that you can show to potential employers.

Showcase these in Your Social Profiles / Portfolios and Resume

• Designed Levels & Blockouts
• Small Games
• Game Design Documents
• Game Ideas with simple Diagrams
• Basic Concept Art

Keep Learning New Stuff

• Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and techniques in game design.
• The game design industry is constantly evolving, so it is important to stay current with the latest tools, software, and best practices. Consider attending industry events and workshops, or participating in online communities and forums to stay informed.
• You can also go one extra step and start learning about game development and game engines too, so you can prototype your game ideas and too just by yourself.

Build Your Network

"Network is your Networth" this is not just random dry quote, but a really useful one.
Networking and making connections in the game industry will help you a lot in finding new work and opportunities.
Building relationships with other professionals in the game industry can be a valuable way to learn about job opportunities, get feedback on your work, and stay connected to the latest developments in the field.

Finding Colleges

Well, a degree in game design is not a necessity to get a job in the game industry, as your portfolio and experience matters the most. So you can  just learn through the internet and if you wanna do college, then you can always choose to do some related degree,  like in design, filmmaking or writing etc.

So spend a good amount of time in researching and knowing about the colleges, so you don't get fooled by joining a poor college or those art and vfx courses which are marketed as game design courses. Xd
