Game Design and Development

My Cousin's brother completed his B. Design degree from Lovely Professional University. He is placed in Rockstar games now as Lead Facial Animator. He worked in Red Dead redemption 2 and now working in GTAVI. As his feedback, I would like to recommend that LPU is one of the best places in India for Multimedia, Graphics, and Gaming. The faculty members are from the industry like red chilies Studios, Prime focus studios and they have experience of more than 15 years. The multimedia department has a separate block and has well-equipped labs with dell workstations to handle high-end software like adobe after effects, Unity Maya, Cinema 4D, 3ds Max, Nuke, Fusion, Z brush, photoshop, etc. Even the department has good quality of resources like Black magic cinemas cameras, canon cameras, trolly, jib, and well-equipped special VFX studio with permanent Chroma backgrounds. Placements are also great. This year also his friends and juniors got placed in companies like Amazon, rockstar games, Kony India, Xentrix studios, Lolly POP Design Studio etc. With average packages of 5 Lacs per annum and maximum packages are 8 to 10 Lacs. Department has a separate Gaming studio also where students can play and test the games on Ps4 and xbox 360+. Best Wishes

The decision is all up to what to choose. Both are good fields in their respective ways. It totally depends on you and your interests and skills to choose. Game development and game designing what's the difference between them?
If you choose Game development you have to polish your coding skills as games are programs and it needs coding to function or do the certain task as a developer you have to learn coding languages there are many platforms to make games and different platforms come with different coding language but the most common language is c+ and c#. Game designing if you choose to be a game designer then you have to deal mostly with the graphics part. As games are 2d type and 3d type. You have to learn different applications to do 2d graphics or 3D graphics. You have to design animate the scenes or the levels. you have to learn skills of character designing and animation.
Both are good to choose from and have good future placements just choose what you will enjoy doing the developing part or the designing part.
