First assignment - Conclusion

Lead Designer

I want be a great Lead Designer because I believe that I can make a difference to the field. Being passionate for video games and design is what makes the desire to be a Lead Designer thrive in me.

To be the designer that is responsible for managing a team of designers, the one that make sure the game vision is achieved. That’s what I want to be. Not because of the fancy “leader” title but because I have been studying hard on how to manage people and I found that I am in love with it. It has its difficulties like putting out fires and do what needs to be done to deliver the product. But it also nice to keep the good attitude between everyone.

And I know that there is a huge difference between lead a dictator or a visionary.

The Lead Designer also establish the game’s core and its feature set. He decides on how the game is going to be documented, determine the basic systems and even, depending on the size of the project, can assign those to another designer on the team.

By having the opportunity to work on other fields that I find very interesting in game design as the project goes on. A lead designer can also work as a Level Designer, Content Designer, Game Writer, System Designer, Technical Designer, UI/UX Designer, and Senior Designer.

But the most important thing is that I know what it takes to be a Lead Designer and that I got it.
