Research the video game industry and what its mostly comprised of. There are plenty of different careers but mainly for making games chances are آپ 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 آپ want to do when آپ become a video game designer? Yes, آپ want to design games, but what kind of games? What sort of audience do آپ want to aim for? Who will آپ work with (because believe me, video game designers work in pairs یا groups; the workload of doing it alone is close to impossible unless you're trying to become an indie game designer) and how are آپ 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 reading Rules of Play: Game Design Fundamentals. It is essentially the best textbook revolving around video game design that I know personally.
Keep up with what's going on in the gaming industry. If آپ want to design 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 آپ may یا may not like about it.

also آپ have no idea how excited I was when i saw this سوال i was like "my time to shine"

i also recommend if آپ plan on producing a series with all sorts of characters to research character design from appearance to personality to portray in-depth characters

lol and shine bright آپ did, this was real helpful. I mostly wanted to work for Valve یا Nintendo یا 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, یا other Creative Tech uni course paper.

I'm currently studying Digital Design 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 آپ actually study it.....and many are put off like myself.
If آپ 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 آپ pay for a course so آپ know what you're in for.
