Game design

As it is your life and your career, you would be in a better position to understand what to do and what not, because I won't be knowing what are your motives. Still, as per my way, try assessing yourself and your skills-what do you need to make a career in game development. GameDev consists of various fields- computer animation, character modelling, skinning and rigging, motion capture, texture generation (Substance Designer domain), game engines, scripting, backed stuff in game development, 3D architecture Modelling and a lot of other fields. It would be better if you acquire the knowledge of various softwares, not extensively, but enough to make you not start from scratch, like Blender, Autodesk range of products, Substance Designer and many things. And do at least one certification course of game development, I recommend checking the Game Design and Development certification on Coursera by Michigan State University. Then create some projects, apply for an internship, and you will have no problem going into GameDev job.

According to a Google report, although still in a very early stage, the online gaming industry in India is expected to grow to $1 billion by 2021 from the current $360 million a growth rate of 20 percent with the online gamers community reaching 310 million by 2021. As people are smitten by the technological advancements and social network, there is scope for huge growth, particularly on mobile. In 2016, India accounted for 0.55% of the global gaming industry and is expected to grow because of the internet penetration and increasing game preferences by the young internet users, In Q2 2016, India ranked fifth globally by game downloads at 1.6 billion and expected to reach 5.3 billion in 2020. It is expected to surpass both Russia and Brazil in the coming years. The gaming industry currently has 250 game developers and is forecasted to increase in the near future as the demand for online games is ever increasing.
There has been an increase in demand of Indian made games. Just like the film industry which is always dominated by Indian content, games made in India are slowly capturing the attention of Indian consumer. The success stories of several online based games like Online Rummy Games, Online Poker are some examples of Indian gamers preferences.
Overall, this makes it a good profession as more and more people are using mobile phones and almost free internet and free downloads of ad based games empowers even more people to play and look for newer games regularly.
