Questions

Which keywords should a Game Designer resume include?

Pull them from the specific job description first. Across most Game Designer postings the recurring terms are Game mechanics design, Level design, Balancing, Player progression, Prototyping, Playtesting, plus tools such as Unity, Unreal Engine, Figma. ResumeScanner extracts the exact set from the JD you paste rather than relying on a generic list.

What match score is good for Game Designer roles?

Anything above 75% usually means your resume covers the required skills and the seniority band. Below 60% there is normally a real gap — missing Level design or Unity experience — not just a wording problem. We show the reasoning behind the score so you can tell the two apart.

How do I quantify Game Designer experience?

Tie each bullet to one of retention D1/D7, session length, playtest completion rate. Even approximate figures beat none: reviewers read them as evidence you tracked outcomes.

Do B.Des certifications matter for this role?

They rarely replace experience, but they break ties. When B.Des appears in a JD's preferred list, our checker flags it as a missing keyword if your resume does not mention it.

Should I use a different resume for each Game Designer application?

Not a different resume — a re-aligned one. Titles vary (Level Designer, Gameplay Designer) and so do required tools. Re-running the check per JD takes seconds and normally surfaces two or three swaps worth making.
