Lots of children and young teenagers dream about getting into gaming development. The thought of getting paid to play games all day may sound like fun but often the reality is quite different. When it comes to creating computer or console games such as FIFA, Call of Duty or Minecraft there are a number of different people involved. You will obviously need the developers who write the code for the game. You may also have designers who will plan out the sets and the characters but you may also have script writers who come up with the story line. Many games have some sort of story line and this is vital to the game play. Many games have two different modes, career or story mode when you follow through a story or sequence of events whilst playing and then possibly a few play or multiplayer mode.
If you are serious about getting in to game development then try and have a think which role you would like to have as this will have an impact on which college or university course you choose. A popular choice of course is the BA game development or design course.
