What do video game designers do on average work days

They design video games either in whole or in part. A video game designer may design the entire game from scratch, or they may be reponsible for certain aspects of the game, such as graphics, sound, plot, characterisation, human interfaces, and so on. They are also be responsible for designing the algorithms and logic that drive the game, the classes employed by the game, and so on. By the time the design reaches the actual programmers, they simply have to translate the design concept into working machine code. About 80% of the development process is spent purely in design.
