How to become a computer games designer? My ideal job would be to become a computer games designer. I know it seems a bit of a pipe dream as its a very competitive industry and I don't have any experience whatsoever. I can do the artwork and layout etc and I have a very very basic grasp of programming (although I'd really just like to be involved in the design of the game). Any ideas on how to make it happen?

Well, i am a game developer, may be i can help you to make your dream come true. better if you could share your details of skills and some examples if possible. best of luck bro...

If you really like developing games, then you should consider about programming also. Learn some basic programming for example start with c++, learn algorithm and mostly focus on creating more layouts and learn lots of animation. These will take you so much time and energy. Best of luck.

udemy has some great courses for computer and games!

I believe that the author of the topic is asking the question and setting goals a bit wrong. Even though the topic has been opened a long time ago, people still respond over time, and
I believe it can still be useful to anyone who is asking themselves how to become a "game designer" or whoever else.
In my experience I know that nothing is impossible, I've learned many things in life, and no matter how you evaluate yourself, persistence, and banal refusal to give up is always decisive. The main thing is just keep going no matter what.
Becoming a computer game designer can be a challenging and competitive path, but it's certainly not impossible. Here are a few steps you can take to get your dream job:

Start by learning the basics of game design

Develop your skills

Create a portfolio by pet projects

Network with other game designers

Gain experience by applying trainee positions (if you lucky enough to find some, but you need to do your best

Keep Learning and Developing
