Career Advisor people will Suggest you choose a career after the 12th that comes with good returns and secure your future but that would be a wrong move ahead if you are not interested in any of the general career path and wish to make a career in offbeat vocations and earn a name for yourself in it as a Game Designer.
Now, if you are the one who grew up playing Super Mario and GI Joe and 3d games on television and wanted to check out every new game that came on the market and want to create your own concept game with your imagined creativity then you should know what it is all about and how you can be a part of game designing as a Game Designer.
To become a Game Designer, you must get a good knowledge of 2D/3D software as well as pre-production. 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 this software. It would not matter whether the program is called a game design program or not. Rest, to become a level designer you must have a passion for game design.
You must have a 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 which usually a BCA/ MCA would help. If you like this answer you may select it as the best answer or press like.
