I don't know if anyone will find this, but I just want to say destiny is one of my favorite games and my first shooter game. This game has amazing graphics and art and I am an aspiring artist. After playing games and watching the credits I always tell myself that one day I'll see my name as one of the artists that help make the game. My problem is I don't know where to start. Anyone have any pointers for me?

If you're looking for something on the 2d plane for making games, I'd suggest https://scratch.mit.edu. It's mostly younger kids but it's a good place to start for game design. If you want to go larger scale (3d) I'd suggest looking into java (you're going to kill me for this, but mine craft is written in java).

Awesome, I'm wishing you well on your journey. In this day and age, so much information is available to you online. Different components of game design, and different softwares, can all be found online with an infinite amount of information about them. Many schools offer game design courses which will help you get your foot into the door of creating cool games. So when you're ready to look at colleges and/or universities, take a look at the courses the school provides for your particular interests, paying close attention to game design and art courses.

I'd say work through college as an Arts Major or whatever it's called. Also, yeah, Destiny is one of — if not, is — my favorite game purely based off the fun times I've had with the friends I've met
