I’m not sure if I want to get into game making, but I really would love to do animations. I am under the impression that you are able to do everything in Blender. I understand the animation short Agent 327: Operation Barber Shop was done entirely in Blender.
Blender does do animation but if you are looking to get into professional grade animation you may want to consider other animation programs. Of course, if you check out the history of Blender you might discover that was originally written to encompass the entire work flow of the animation process…
