Education and Training Requirements
High School
An interest in playing video games is obviously a requirement, but producers need to know a lot more about the technical side of game development and testing. Create a good foundation by taking math and computer science classes while in high school. Art classes are also useful to stimulate and develop your creative sensibilities, such as illustration—both by hand and with computer drawing tools.
