skills. He must be a good communicator as well, as he’s working with the team to
design the game. Charisma always helps, as he’s frequently the one evangelizing the
game to the press and gamers. An introverted designer is an ineffective designer. A game
designer should also be well read. (I’m really bad at finding time to read; I’m
terrible at this part…!)</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cliffyb.com/how-to-get-hired.htm"><P class="MsoNormal">Above all, the Designer must also play
games. This may seem like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised at the amount of folks
in this biz that don’t play games. You’d be surprised at the amount of ideas and
inspiration you can draw from other titles. Sometimes you’ll be struggling with a
design problem and the answer could be in another previously released title. By playing
this game you can see how the competitors solved the problem and use that as a starting
point for your design.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EE3938EB-6B95-4BE8-9FA7-23BE11790115/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
