I've always been really interested in game programming and designing and I've been wanting to do it all my life and even though it's not my main interest for my dream job, I do really enjoy it. Back in elementary school I made lots of creations on skratch and that truly was my favorite. I want to know how good it is for making games people can easily like and get a hang of? I really want to try making racing games and possibly even shooters. The thing is I don't even know if it's possible to make such games. I can't afford pico-8 but I do think it would be really cool to experiment with and maybe I can finally be noticed
