Cool Careers in Video Games

Cool Careers in Video Games

The book tells you how much you can make from that job. Some of the people who make these games are just regular everyday people and some are big teams of programmers.

What is a video game designer? The book discusses video game designers or developers and the job they do in creating games. They work out the whole idea of the game which includes its characters, actions, patterns, and the rules to play. Programmers and artists are also an important part of the team. You can make good money, sometimes $70,000 in this field.

I like the book because it taught me what I need to do in order to create my own game. I also enjoyed the book because it was straight to the point and short. There was nothing that I disliked about Cool Careers in Video Games.


Overall, I learned a great deal about a profession that I’m interested in. I’m an X-Box fan and maybe one day I’ll design a game for them!
