How is a game designer different
They're basically the same job with
different names
The game designer thinks about
parts of the game and the feel of
being the character. Meanwhile a
writer creates the plot and makes
sure the characters are interesting
to the player.
A game designer is in charge of the
whole project and concept while
the writer just makes up dialogue.
A writer makes up all the elements
of the story and characters while a
game designer comes up with the
big idea.
