A video game developer is one of the three most important jobs within the development and creation of a video game. A video game developer has responsiblites similar to a designer in which they are in charge of other key aspects involving a video game’s development. The other key aspects would be mainly be visual creation. Visual creation is crucial for a video game as that is what would appeal to a player to want to try the game. Usually players would see gameplay trailers in which companies would show how their games function and visual content would be involved. The visual content is what the players see both in these trailers and in the games themselves. For example with the LittleBigPlanet it is about players creating worlds of their own. In gameplay trailers they show some examples of what kind of worlds players can create within the game. The art that they see, visual creation, would make them want to try the game out. Visual content will always be a sort of marketing tool for drawing attention to a game and it is very important that they function properly. Coding would be involved like a programmer but not as much as it is mostly dealing with art and using programs like Illustrator and such to create visuals that appease the fans of said game. If you have an artisitic style that you think would be perfect for the world to see and you think it will be incredibly appealing then you should try to make your career as a developer and have the people of the world see your creations for themselves.
