Hey there, first of all i apologize if this is the incorrect place to post this type of post here. Basically I missed out on university even though i had higher than my required grades. However I have now had a change of mind going from sport science to game design/developing. My question to you is

is this wise as I have very little knowledge of the subject. I have played a vast majority of on line and console games my whole life from golden axe to WoW etc I have a passion for games and find the aspects such as character development and animation truly intriguing. I obviously know this in no way makes me qualified to do so, but it is one part of my life that i truly enjoy and think I would be good at. i spend a large proportion of my time drawing and digitally/manually coloring anime drawings. So I guess im asking is it wise to go with such little background knowledge?

I thank you for reading and hope it doesn't sound to ridiculous, dont worry about being critical hehe, cheers regards danny.
