When I was 12 (and computers weren't really a thing) I wrote an RPG. In ZX Spectrum Basic. It wasn't great (let's be honest, TerrariaClone sounds like the Mona Lisa in comparison), but it worked. I didn't realise at the time that this weird little hobby of mine would stick me right at the front of an emerging field. Nor did my family who thought I should be doing.. almost anything else. I got ridiculously lucky, all because I started writing bad computer games in high school.
