Game design. If you create a popular game and sell it, you can pick up quite a good amount of money.

Depends on what you want to do with your life.


I still can't decide. I'm much better at web development, but I like Games more. Good luck! :D

Why not do both at the same time? You can design games for the web...

Personally I think you should do both if you can't decide (and if you're equally interested in/good at both). The more experience you have in a wider range of areas, the further you will get. That way if you later choose a career in game design, you will have a better chance of getting a job than someone who has no web design experience. Or vice versa, ya feel me?

Er... that was badly worded. What I mean is if you and someone else both apply for a job in one area and have an equal or similar amount of experience in that area, but you also have additional experience in other areas that he/she does not, then you will be more likely to get the job.

Web design will more likely get you a "real" job which will reliably get you good income.
Game _design_ is more of an entrepreneurial attempt if you expect a large income for it.

But, do what you love.

It's a fun world!

How do you learn game design or web designing? D: My whole life it's been my dream to create a successful game!

Web design is incredibly easy to learn. Learn HTML and CSS and you write a web page in Notepad then save it as a .html file and open it in Internet Explorer or whatever browser you use, and you can make changes to the file based on how you feel about what is displayed in the browser.

Game design is harder to get into as you need to learn a programming language and maybe a scripting language or two, depending on what you're doing. You will most likely need special software such as a decent IDE to write your code in. Google around.

@turbodaze

That's not exactly right. Web design is easier to get into, but gets much harder as you dive in, while game programming remains pretty simple once you got into it enough.

On contrary, a decent game takes a lot of money to make. They're also hard to sell since it's hard to get the word out.

I'm sure you're right but I was answering the guy who asked about learning to do web/game designing. On another note, what exactly are you talking about when you say "gets much harder"? I'm curious; I'm haven't looked very far into it.

If all he knows is HTML, then he's not even making websites, he's just making documents.

Use the web to make a start-up and make a new worldwide standard of 3D rendering in mobile web platforms (mobile chrome, mobile opera etc.) so that both mobiles and tablets and computers could easily run the same game.

No, it's not biology or psychology, it's oreology. The study of attraction.

Thanks for all the replies guys.

I understand the part 'do what you love' but I love them pretty much both equally (maybe game design a little more), but which is more practical for the future?

Which is easier to make money off of or which is easier to get a job for that pays relatively well?

If you get into game design, you have to make a website to put your game ON. And the website would have to look pretty appealing. So unless you hire someone to make your website, if you get into game design, you have to know how to make a fairly good website with C++, PHP, HTML5, Etc.

@FreeGames

Not necessarily.

Your game does not have to be browser-based, therefore you can upload it to a file sharing website or something similar.

@FreeGames, Did you just say you need to know C++ to do web design? If so, please smack yourself in the face.

Actually I think the hardest thing about webpages is the designing, if I am replicating a design that a graphic designer made as an image, converting it to HTML/CSS is fairly easy.
