Hi LJ kk, "game developer" usually means anybody who works on a game. There are many different jobs on a game team, including Programmer, Artist, Designer, Animator, Producer, QA Tester, and more.
You need to start small and work your way up (just like we all did!). There's some great advice for aspiring writers on my website at www.gameindustrycareerguide.com/tag/writing/
As a film studies student with no programming knowledge but extensive experience as a gamer and love for the field of games, is it possible to work in the field? What can i do to be game writer or Is there a job as a game director
Great questions. For learning to do game writing, there's some solid advice from Darby McDevitt (writer for Assassin's Creed) on my website at www.gameindustrycareerguide.com/how-to-become-a-video-game-writer/
Awesome! Im persuing a game writer career. I already have a title on writing narrative and a few awards. And of course a TON of material. What do you think should be my next step?
Hi Anthony, it sounds like you're on a good track -- write every day, meet other writers to network and share ideas, and publish as much good material as you can. Everything you write can become part of your portfolio for when you apply for jobs!
Any state with a lot of game studios would be a good option. Please check out my article about the top cities for game development "hotbeds" - www.gameindustrycareerguide.com/best-cities-for-video-game-development-jobs/
When you said write stories, are we talking full fledged novels or just a very detailed outline? Or even many outlines for the different aspects of the story?
Hey happy Friday. I've been working on a project for a LONG time, but I have a few complicated questions I feel uncomfortable asking on here. Do you have an email address by chance (unless me asking for that makes you uncomfortable too 😅)?
Hi Cren, I don't do 1-on-1 coaching, but there's a TON of good advice from me and many other game industry pros, at my website www.gameindustrycareerguide.com. Please check it out, and if you don't see what you're looking for, use the "Contact" form to send me a mail.

I want to be a game developer but what I can't figure out is if game developers are the same as programmers
And how to become a game developer.
Hi LJ kk, "game developer" usually means anybody who works on a game. There are many different jobs on a game team, including Programmer, Artist, Designer, Animator, Producer, QA Tester, and more.
I eventually want to be the lore master or head writer for Bethesda. How would you suggest I go about doing that?
