Hi,<p>What do you feel is stopping you from becoming a game developer? And how do you think John Carmack will change that for you? I don't think they can change anything for you, you have to change it for you.<p>If you really want to build video games, then build them. Try things, play with Lumberyard, play with Unity, play with Unreal, find what you like. Find what part of Game Development interests you, learn more.<p>Then from there it's finding a job, depending on your current career you'll probably take a pay cut, game development is notoriously underpaid.<p>I'm currently a developer at a decent sized game studio / publisher. I sort of just happened upon it, I was previously a web developer, I decided to apply for a job here, and now over a year later I can say it's something I really enjoy.
