I have you at 72!  But it is not my first Jam, it is my second.  The first was disqualified because nobody could run it, lol.

Finishing a game is a great achievement at any age I think! Good job everyone!

Well, I'm 47 and having a lot of fun with gamedev. :-)

I'm 52 and this is my third gamejam; all for the GameDev.TV gamejam. I had to find time between 4 days at a music festival, an 80 bithday party (and a day to recover :) ) and help my son revise for his GCSE exams but it's been fun to do.

Anyways congrats on your first game jam submission.

53 and my first Jam with Pigeon Survivor https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2024/rate/2742919

Not really polished but has all the main elements so just proves you can pretty much make a game in 10 days and thinking about it we had quite a lot of family time so it was really about 6.

Well done everyone!

whenever I join these jams I imagine that everyone else is something in the range of 8-16 just going by the community posts. Nice to see this mature game-dev crowd! Im 42 myself, and this is my 4th jam. Looking back to my first jam, I can definitely notice a distinct improvement over the years, so no matter your age, keep going guys.

This is my first one to at 45, better late than not at all.

Wow, there is lot of us then :)

The only issue I had with your game was how I couldn’t both look at the jokes and focus on dodging the drinks!

I still had some fun, got a little past 20.

Submitted

That's the hardest part ;)

You got me by a few years (38) but it's never too late as long as we are able to get up each day and be healthy enough to keep pushing towards goals. By the way I made it all the way to LVL 50. Didn't expect a end. Halfway through I found a spot and said "am I safe here?" and as soon as I said that I got hit with a wine glass. lol Here is my little game if anyone wants to check it out.
