How old were you when you made your first game?

I was 21 when I picked up RPGMaker back in 2009. Took me until November last year ( when I was 26 ) to finish Enelysion.

Ha, I think I was around 13/14. (so around 10 years ago) with RPG Maker 2000/3

I made some really sweet maps, a lot of general content, but as I was young and just was scrapping stuff together, there were a lot of bugs.

For instance, you would talk to a shop keeper in a desolate area, if you didn't buy anything from his over priced shop you would fight him, he'd win (as this was close to the start) but it'd kill you rather than him taunt you. (simple to fix at the time but I hadn't looked into too much about anything, other than mapping! haha

I started making my first games when I was around 12 years old, with the Warcraft 3 World Editor program. None of those games ever made it out to public release (except for one that was extremely buggy), but I garnered the experience of how I should go about designing levels, mechanics and quest-lines. So from a young age, I had a sort-of rough idea of where I wanted to future career. But as never disregard the experiences that you've gotten already; they are still incredibly valuable. Since a Video Game Designer covers almost everything about games, they're expected to have a wealth of hands-on experience with different positions in the industry. Art, Programming, Sound, Writing, Producing, Marketing, etc.

It's never too late to start building these skills. ; >
