Hi, I have been a software developer in India using C#, .NET for nearly 2 and a half years now. I somewhere ended up developing a deep passion for wanting to create games and I am considering if I should actually try taking up a masters course on game development in the US or UK..
Is this a good route into the industry? Or would learning & actually trying to create a few games & building a profile would benefit better?
Either of these options are great, its all going to come down to your personal preference of learning. If you prefer to self learn then I'd say teach yourself, build up that portfolio and jump into game development. However if you're like me and you prefer someone to teach it to you then studying abroad is an amazing experience that I've heard. Just remember that it's going to take a while either way, and that your software development background is going to help you a lot.
