ABSTRACT
A game designer is responsible for all the creative aspects of the game. They were the ones to come up with the idea for the game. A game developer redesigns aspects of the game to make it into a more marketable product. They ask questions, like “Does this component need to be part of the game?”, “Is this rule necessary?”, and “Would removing this step make the game better?” One way to find “dev” work is to first become a good playtester. A good game developer will be able to look at a game and determine what will make it a better game and a more marketable product. They may find ways to reduce or reuse components to bring the cost down.
