Game Design
3D, Animation and Game Development
Game design is the discipline of conceiving and defining how a game works—its rules, mechanics, systems, level layouts, progression, and player experience. Game designers write design documents, prototype gameplay ideas, and iterate based on playtesting to create engaging, coherent experiences, often specializing in areas like level design, systems design, or narrative design. It sits at the intersection of creativity and problem-solving, requiring designers to balance fun, challenge, and technical feasibility.
