What do you have to do to be able to be a video game designer?

Answer 1

You need to go to college to get a game design degree if you want to work professionally. You should also know that programmers and graphic designers do not create games, they build games that the game designer created. The game designer writes the game design document, this details every facet of the game, script, charachters, NPC's items, where every single item Non-Player Character (NPC) is located, every tree, every lake, stream, river, waterfall, etc.
