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 do not believe it is that difficult to actually begin making games. What's difficult is establishing yourself in the industry. You're not going to create the next Minecraft or work on Halo 5 straight out of University, College or whatever else. Most indie devs balance a full time job and creating a game from their garage. I would just recommend getting into anything IT, specifically related to programming. I'm sure there are people more knowledgeable than me on this subject, however. Take what I say with a mountain of salt.
