I am very new to this site and just wanted to say hello. I am going to be 31 years old this June and was wondering if I am too late to start a career in Game Development. I am now starting to learn a programming language. I was browsing the siet yesterday and that got me thinking. I really enjoy playing video games, and I also enjoy the Graohic Engines out there that are in use. I have graduated last year (took time off from school) with a BA in 3D and Visualization. I do not mind putting in the time to learn and have taken a C++ class last year. I am buying the books recommended on this site for beginners and look forward to learning and being a more active member on this wonderful site. Thank you, Fred

Hi SNK

I'm 30 and left game-developing last year :)

I still do programming though, but if I could rewind time, I'd definately go into sales & marketing!

Thank you everyone for all the replies. I will be sure to ask questions as long as they have not been asked before. I always use search before posting questions.

Thanks again!

Fred

30/31 isn't too old to try out any new career these days...people change jobs all the time. Good luck!
