How Can I Start a Career in Game Design as a Teen?

Post:

Hi! I’m 14 and I love creating games. I already know C++ and sometimes experiment with simple apps or game ports like this Cuphead APK build (https://cuphead-apk.com/
) just to see how games run on different devices. I want to be a game designer in the future, but I’m not sure what steps I should take now. Can AI help me create characters or code faster? Where do most game designers earn money from, and is this career profitable long-term? Any advice for someone my age starting out would be amazing.

Mariana’s Answer

Hey Joei! Game design is super exciting, and even though I’m not directly in that field, as a career expert, I’ve got two killer tips that can help you get your foot in the door—and they work no matter what you want to do. Check them out!

Mariana recommends the following next steps:

1. Find a Role Model: Dive into social media and spot someone already rocking your dream job. Hunt down their public LinkedIn profiles to see their journey—what they studied, their credentials, first gigs, and how they climbed up. This gives you a real roadmap to follow!
2. Follow the Big Players: Check out the big gaming companies. Visit their websites, look for campus events, partnerships with NGOs, or programs they run, and stay on top of those opportunities. It’s like a treasure map to new contacts and insider info!
