For me I literally always wanted to make games since I've been playing video games since I was extremely little, I just wasn't sure if I could for quite a few years.
Then I ended up learning music and convinced myself I will become a composer for video games. Then I learned pixel art since games need art too, college ended up teaching me Python which is what Ren'py uses and I realized I actually could make video games now! So I now team up with my teammate, who learned different stuff like writing and other types of art, and a few other people to make or help others with visual novels now! Hoping to work with other types of games eventually too.
