I wrote quite a bit about the theory of making games. However, if you do not have practical experience, it will be unfavorable. In addition, there are many people who want to participate in Game Industry in general and Game Design in particular but they are still hesitating about how the industry is going. Hence, I wrote this article hoping that you will be clear about the way of making your own game.

Currently, there are many opportunities, but in the future, there will be more space. There are 3 main game centers across the country: Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi. Other provinces still have a few teams that make games but these three cities are the leading place in making games. The people in the province can move to the above cities to start their game career.
