Mate, I've been reading up on the gaming industry the past 12 or so months. I think I have a fairly decent idea of what I'm talking about.

Well lets not argue about it then. I just really wanne know the truth, especially since this is not a topic of opinion, just getting the facts straight. I used to be into the idea of being a 'game designer' myself, and did a year in computing, but in the end my heart pulled me in the opposite direction and here I am doing Muay Thai full time in Thailand. WOW. Anyway, I have never seen 'game designer' in the credits of any game. Which I have read a lot of credits for things, actually. The top jobs are producer and director and character design, but these three roles are usually shared with the others, since it is a team, they work well together and help each other. That said, you would think 'game design' would be a top job, but you never see it, only director. Or there is scenario design, real world design, battle system design, and so on, screen writer is another.

Tell me, what exactley are you planning on being employed to do? Lets get that distinguished first before we move on to what kind of credentials you will need to do that. So what do you want to do for step 1? And what do you imagine step 2 is?
