I have found that game design look very interesting. That is what I want to do. What can I do to be prepared for a career in game design. Mind you that I am only 16. I am trying to find a good school for game design but I am having alittle trouble finding one that I really like. I'm trying to find 1 in california it's my dream to live there. I know there are alot of game studios there. So whats a good college to go to, how can I prepare for college, and my future game career.
