Game designer
UX Designer, Full-stack developer
A project to create a video game involves defining an initial concept (game type, target audience), the lead times and a specific budget. A freelance game designer collects his information from the project manager and produces a technical specification (game design document).
Through this document, he defines the gameplay, i.e. the game experience that he wishes to bring to players (game rules, puzzles on different levels, ability to act, interact with the environment, etc.). His aim is to make the game immersive and funny.
He works within a production team composed of programmers, scriptwriters, graphic designers, developers, illustrators, testers, etc. As project manager, he monitors the tests and verifies the smooth running of the operations defined by the game design document (development, hosting, debugging, etc.)
