why would you make a game in maya? this makes no sense. If you want to make a game learn c++. You use maya to make game content.

Hi!

Usually you create only content in Maya and then use this in a Game Engine.

You can however do a game in Maya, but then everyone who wants to play this game needs Maya to play it.

I doubt you want this.
