Research the video game industry and what its mostly comprised of. There are plenty of different careers but mainly for making games chances are Ты want to aim at becoming a video game designer. Understand what exactly video game designers do on a daily basis. What are some challenges they may face, what skills are necessary, etc. What exactly do Ты want to do when Ты become a video game designer? Yes, Ты want to Дизайн games, but what kind of games? What sort of audience do Ты want to aim for? Who will Ты work with (because believe me, video game designers work in pairs или groups; the workload of doing it alone is close to impossible unless you're trying to become an indie game designer) and how are Ты going to get your game out to the public? I would also gain an understanding of the history of video games in general. I recommend Чтение Rules of Play: Game Дизайн Fundamentals. It is essentially the best textbook revolving around video game Дизайн that I know personally. Keep up with what's going on in the gaming industry. If Ты want to Дизайн games, look at what's been done before. There are tons of games out there that are all successful in their own way; distinguish them from one another and figure out what makes this enjoyable for someone and what Ты may или may not like about it.
also Ты have no idea how excited I was when i saw this Вопрос i was like "my time to shine"

i also recommend if Ты plan on producing a series with all sorts of characters to research character Дизайн from appearance to personality to portray in-depth characters
LOL and shine bright Ты did, this was real helpful. I mostly wanted to work for Valve или Nintendo или if possible make my own company. I had several games in my imaginiation/on paper that I wanted to work on if ever I had the chance.
Look for a Digital Design, или other Creative Tech uni course paper.
I'm currently studying Digital Дизайн at uni and game development is part of it.
I will say though, do your research before-hand. Many people out there go "I wanna make games for a living!" but then Ты actually study it.....and many are put off like myself. If Ты want to do it, cool, but be prepared that it's not as fun as people would think it would be. It's extremely frustrating and tedious work, but the result makes it worth it, so good luck.

I'm already frustrated and stressed with my journalism course which I do not like one bit, so I figured why not get frustrated and do tedious work for something I actually want to make a career out of and something I have a passion for..
Fair enough hahah. It's not for everyone even if the passion for video games is there. Video games are a massive part of my life and I always thought I would have a career in it but found it just wasn't for me, despite the passion. So yeah, I hope it all goes well for you! Just do your research before Ты pay for a course so Ты know what you're in for.
