🕹️ Game Designer or Game Developer? Don’t Decide Too Early

Many beginners ask this question: “Should I become a Game Designer or a Game Developer?”

My honest advice is simple — don’t decide at the beginning.

First, learn the basics of both game design and game development.When you start learning, you’ll slowly understand:

  1. What excites you more
  2. What feels natural
  3. What gives you that happy, curious feeling

Only after some time in the learning process, your path will become clear.

Learning both gives you a strong foundation.Once you understand the basics, you can choose based on your mindset and interest, not confusion or fear.

For me, I learned the basics of both design and development.I realized that development feels more comfortable for me, while design is a bit difficult.
At the same time, I’m still working on design to reduce that difficulty and improve myself.

So my advice:
Explore first. Decide later.
Don’t choose your role before you truly experience it.
