Hello, what talents or knowledge would you need to do game design? Or what subjects should I do in order to do game design?
There are lots of ways to learn and the main way is just researching and looking up tutorials.
The best place to start is downloading Unity and playing around with the program. The website for Unity has a few simple game tutorials that you can start off with to get to know the program and how everything works.

You can download Unity here.
Extra Credits, the Youtube channel, is a great place to learn some things about game design in general.

This is the link to the channel and if you watch through their stuff on game design you’ll definitely learn some things.
For subjects, I assume you mean school, learning some things in IT and Art in general is a good place to start but what people in the industry focus on most isn’t what you’ve studied in school but more how much you know about game design.
The main thing in learning game design is just research, watching tutorials and talks, playing all kinds of video games and trying to understand how they work or what methods the game uses to keep you playing.
Also try to know the basics in EVERYTHING there is to making games: Art, programming, writing, design, developing etc.
With research, time and patience it’s perfectly possible to be a game designer no matter who you are.
Good luck and I hope this helps you. :)
