I got in game development early because of my teacher I had in elementary school. He was creating video games and animations, and I wanted to do what he was doing. He told me to try out Construct 2, so I went home and started expirementing with it. I learned a lot, about game development. Then I moved to Game Maker Studio 1.4. I watched lots of tutorials from Heartbeast and after enough tutorials I was able to make my own games. So that's how I got into game development so early. Definitely worth it, I probably won't be able to do game development as much when I get older. So I am working at it as much as possible right now.
