Hey man...You really caught my attention... I can feel you talk from the heart about video games... and that truly makes me want to keep working here... I'm not really anyone important, and in fact... I like not being one XD... nobody asked, but I'll share a bit about myself:
I'm a student at "Universidad Central Martha Abreu de Las Villas" (UCLV) in Cuba... I'm currently studying Computer Science and I've noticed that I'm 22 years old, just like you... I know English well enough to read and understand it perfectly, but I struggle with speaking it... my passion for video games started around the age of 10, and since then I've been creating whatever I can to show everyone my ability to make them from scratch... The only downside is that I have ADHD, which makes it really hard for me to focus on a project... that's my demon. That's why I can't just join you to learn together... and that makes me a bit sad... but hey... keep working in this world of video games. Maybe one day when you're really famous, you'll remember this long text and smile...
I'm currently working on a multiplayer, top-down 2D game. I have endless game ideas to create... and I suppose I'll gradually work on them after my classes and in the future after my job... I'm not planning to stop at all...
You've gained a follower here on itch... and the next game... will have your username hidden somewhere... I hope to finish at least the demo soon so you can play it a bit... Thanks for encouraging the people around you to make games... you have a friend here in Cuba for whatever you need hehehe.
