What would you have to major in to become a video game designer?

What subjects are required to become a video game designer?Do these classes require to be taken in High school

  • Also, what is an average salary for a video game designer? What does the salary depend on?

  • Answer:

    Video game designer depends on experience. In other words, you can't study to be one. Either you are (by designing your own game(s)) or you are not (i.e. never designed anything). Don't believe me? Look up biography of Mr. Miyamoto, the head designer over at Nintendo, creator of Mario, Donkey Kong, and more. Most game designers started by... designing simple games. Average salary depends on where you're working at (country, state, market, company size, etc.)

tthe average across all levels is around $60,000, but u'll probably be starting in the 40,000 range. you'll need to take programming classes, be familiar with a wide variey of languages. this should include C++, and slower languages like visual basic. learn to use 3D modelling and animation software, learn about texturing, take art courses.

To be honest, you don't even really need schooling to be a video game designer. It helps. However, if you're a good smart, you can learn quickly enough on your own. I have video game designer software. That's all you need. A good background in playing video games, computer programming knowledge (a little at least) and the right software.
