Asked by Gamezic2
Im hoping to be a creative director of a video game developing company. What exactly do they do? Do they ACTUALLY sit on their ass all day and think creativley about the game the company is currently making? How much money do they make? What classes should i be taking in high school and college?

Best Answer:
A creative director is usually a game designer responsible for the design, vision and direction of the product. Usually they manage a team of programmers and graphic designers but depending on the size of the team they may also be involved in the programming and/or graphics development. Last time I checked, the game design was very competitive (meaning there a lot people who want the job) and so unless you were very good the pay was not as good as you could get in other field You want to take classes that require or develop creativity. You want develop skills in storying telling, graphics design, simulations, math, software/system design and programming (you don't need to be good in all these but you need to know what involved)
