When I was 5 years old, I had just played Kings Quest and I asked my Dad how to make a game.
He taught me lots of maths, and how to program. It seemed too tough back , this was 28 years ago.
The desire to make a game never left me, and the game development tools are finally at a level that I feel I have a shot at producing something. Also I’m at a level at work now where I do not find it particularly satisfying anymore or intellectually stimulating (IT Consultant).
Learning how to use UE4 makes me smile.
