I'm doing my BFA degree. Is there any scope in game developing as a career. And also, what shud i do aftr BFA, 2 pursuit my Gaming career ?

The animation industry can be broadly classified into six categories: 3D animation, 2D animation, gaming, multimedia, web designing and visual effects (VFX). It is true that the quality of education to groom the skill sets was targeted only at production skills and hence most of the training was focused on teaching software applications, but not the core skills of storytelling and film-making. At the end of the day, animation, visual effects, gaming and comics (AVGC) are all about storytelling. Having a strong foundation of artistic skills coupled with fundamentals of storytelling and film-making lays the foundation for a student to make a career in AVGC sector. Technology is just an enabler, it is definitely required, but a good artist and a good storyteller always makes the best of the latest technology available. Now you should analyse your own capabilities and desire to select the next course.

To become a Game Designer, you must get 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 less polygons and more textures. So choose a program that teaches you these software. It would not matter whether the programme is called game design programme or not. Rest, to become a level designer you must have a passion for game design. Also you must have passion for playing all kinds of games including card games, dice games, sports etc. May I ask, have you ever designed a game? Finally, to do game programming you would require knowledge of programming in which usually a BCA/ MCA would help. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.
