Video games are extremely complex, in storyline alone, and there are millions of lines of code that develop every aspect of the game. From maps to characters, these games fulfill a reaction for every possible action that a player may choose. These worlds are courtesy of video game designers, who are responsible for the content and environment of every video game. 3, record 1, English, - video%20game%20designer

À l'image d'un romancier, un concepteur de jeux vidéo doit posséder une imagination débordante. Il doit sans cesse inventer des histoires, des décors et des personnages. Pour se renouveler, il doit avoir beaucoup d'idées. Elles doivent être originales et cohérentes. Une bonne culture générale est donc un plus pour créer des jeux vidéo. 8, record 1, French, - concepteur%20de%20jeux%20vid%C3%A9o
