Hi ALL, To be a Game Art Designer, you must have a good knowledge of 3D software as well as preproduction. Usually in Games the environment is created in 3DSMax and Character animations in Maya, only the models are made with fewer polygons and more textures. So choose a program that teaches you these softwares. It would not matter whether the programme is called a game design programme or not.

To become a Game Level Designer you must have a passion for game design. where you design the game itself, i.e. what happens on each level, and how things go about as well as the base story of the game. It is a stage that you reach due to your vast knowledge and passion that even exceptional technical skills cannot help you reach. This is usually the story designer. Also you must have passion for playing all kinds of games including card games, dice games, sports etc.

HI, Usually for becoming a Game Designer skills related to Game Art Design are required rather then qualification. Preference is given to Fine Art graduates but anyone with talent of creating Animation, Visual Design, Backgrounds, Props, Model, Rig, Lighting, Texture etc could stand to qualify for opportunities.
