Playing video games was my favorite hobby growing up and they've been apart of my daily life ever since I got my first Nintendo DS. As a kid I would always wondered how games were fundamentally made and what the process of making these games consisted of. I would critique the games I played and think of ways that game could do better in areas that were lacking. I would come up with my own ideas and gameplay mechanics that I would implement into my own game. I would dream of creating a fun game and playing it with my own hands. But now I can make that dream a reality.

 

I am a self motivated game designer hoping to create and design games. I am actively looking for jobs or internships in game development to obtain more experience in the field. I am currently enrolled at Brookdale Community College going for an associates degree in Game Design. Learning about how some of my favorite games were made from the ground up is very compelling. Being a game designer is a dream job and hopefully I can manifest that by putting in hard work. With more time and experience I may hopefully work on a game that the world will get their hands on and enjoy.

​

After I get my associates degree in Game Design there are many paths I can take to bring my career to the next level. I can continue my education and get a bachelors degree in Game Design and maybe even a Masters Degree. Or I can just stick with knowledge I have now and start working for companies or even develop my own indie game. The question is which path is the best for me? These paths all have their pros and cons but hopefully, whatever path I end up taking will lead to success.
