Avin’s Answer

There are several paths to a career in game development:
1. Software engineering path where you write code to build the game's core system - physics, rendering, AI, gameplay mechanics
2. Game design (this is the creative path where you design the gameplay, levels, mechanics and UI)
3. Art and Animation (Visual path)
4. Audio/Sound design
5. Production/Project Management.

Which of these paths interests you? What you study would depend on that.

M’s Answer

Hi Jonathan. I would start by obtaining a degree in programming, computer science, or software engineering. You should also look into building other technical skills like programming languages. Some examples of these languages are C++, C#, Java and Python. There are certifications available online for each of these respective programming languages.

You can also start building games now using programs available to you. By doing this, you could begin practicing skills now while also potentially building a “portfolio” of projects that you might later use when applying for jobs. Many of the software tools used by beginners to develop games are free. Some of these tools include GameMaker Studio, Unity, Unreal Engine, and RPG Maker.
