After reading about this question in various different websites, they all said this one specific thing. After you get out of college you need to get an agent. This are the three things you need in order to get a great agent:

1. The agent sees your work.

2. You are recommended to an agent by a director, cast director, producer, or an actor that works for that agent. 

3. You have to turn in by email your photo and resume to even get the interview.

I know nothing about game design. 

2 questions:

1. How does a game designer make a great game?

2. What program do I have to use in order to make a great game design?

According to this website http://serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/games/goodgame.html a good game designer has to include all of the following items:

-Continuous challenge 

-Interesting storyline

-Flexibility

-Immediate, useful rewards

-Combining fun and realism

According to this website http://www.thegamecreators.com/ they have various tools to develop game, graphics, 3D modeling, and game audio. This is a great website to a computer game with tools that are easy to use. 

This relates to my life because I play games (not very often) but I still like them. I still have this question though, Who are the greatest game designers and what are their secrets?

Google 20%

For my Google 20% project my partner and I want to learn how to do an app. More specifically a app game. I want to learn how to create the  scenario, the characters, the plot of the game, how to cheat on the game, etc. I want start creating small interesting games, and then develop a very complex game. I also want to find out what ares the "rules" or requirements we need to achieve in order to publish our app. I am going to research next class about the requirements, what are the game options or topics, etc. 

My final product will be a published game. But not a simple one. A very complex game with great things, characters, and gadgets on it. But before I can achieve my final project I will start by creating small and short games to show my daily learning.
