I want to be apart of a game creating team.
Im 22 and have been through community college but haven't finished (just some credits no degree) do to a lack of knowing what i want to do. I've always thought helping make games would be too naive. Its not a matter of "hey i like games so i would like making them". Its a matter of i want to help make something other people will enjoy.
Well i don't want to make this into a blog so here is my question. How realistic would it be to go into game development? Is school required? Is a special school required? How do i get into the field and apply?
I can use google i just want to see your guys's opinion.

I personally have no qualifications which would make me suitable for working in the gaming industry, shy of a few low-ish grades in English literature at AS level. Despite this, I am hell-bent on finishing the entire story of a game which I then hope to be published in the next gen. The promises it has are huge in comparison to games already out there on the market, and the story has so far had excellent feedback. And I mean excellent. So I'm not sure. It would depend on what area you wanted to get into. Graphic design would be an art-based area, while story an English-based. Many developers ask for previous experience, so perhaps writing a novel is a good way to get started in that field.
