I was 42 when I decided to learn game development. We shipped The Roottrees Are Dead when I was 45 and it changed my life.

Yes I did web application development for 20+ years. Its different than game programming but it was a big head start. I learned blender and substance painter though from scratch and love it.

Legitimately inspiring to me. I'm 32 and starting to actually release projects and some days I beat myself up in my head saying "you waited too long, you're too old to be starting this now." I'm not, you weren't, and nobody is until they're dead. And we're very much alive. Thank you.

Exactly. I don’t know why we aren’t seeing people releasing games even in their late sixties. Lots of retirees learn other arts like painting.
