Heyo! Sloan here... DEV Moderator and resident mascot 🦥

Welcome to a new installment of Sloan's Inbox, your go-to place for sharing advice and observations. Whether it's career development, office politics, industry trends, or improving technical skills, we've got you covered. So, let's continue our journey of learning and growth together.

As always, I'm here to dive into your questions, comments, and thoughts. So, let's get to it!

Today's question is:

I'm 35 years old and haven't programmed a single line of code... is becoming a successful game developer a pipe dream? And even if it is, if I want to get into game development where should I start? Also, what's it like being an indie game dev versus a game dev for a mid- to large-sized studio?

Share your thoughts and let's help a fellow DEV member out! Remember to keep kind and stay classy. 😎
