it is about the same as the distinction between the writer of a TV show and the producer.
designing games involves figuring out the mechanics of how it works and what it looks/feels like. developing games is much more than that -- you are involved in deciding which games to build, where and how to sell them, for how much, with what advertising support, how to build the team that create them, etc, etc.
does this help?

A designer can also be developer. But a developer is a programmer, who knows the programming very well and develop the game program as designed by the designer. If the developer cannot use logical programming according to designer the designer may change the design or will go for another developer.

Just a guess here, and I hate to contradict Spock. But I believe he is right about the designer in that they create the game; ie., the plot, what options apply to designing characters, types of obsticles, characteristics of opponents, etc.
I seem to think that a game developer is basically a software developer in that s/he writes the code (C++ etc) that makes the game function.
