Well, there’s lots of ways into the video game industry. Becoming a video game tester is a place to start, but I don’t know how you would get that position.
There are other ways too, however. Making a video game includes lots of different people working different parts. Artists and programmers are the most notable positions, but they also need musicians, for example, for game music. There are also people who are specifically game designers, but I’m not sure how they get the position.
Your best bet might be to directly e-mail companies that make games – ask them what they look for when they’re hiring, and where you can start. Be formal and polite – they will be more likely to take your questions seriously.
