Hey. That's amazing man. I wish I could say the same, though I have now expanded into other languages and begun working on my first ever real game, so I guess I could say because of MTA I pursued becoming a solo game dev?
Originally I begun playing with Lua in Garry's Mod around 2008-2009, but I was a big samp player, when a friend told me about MTA and that it used Lua that was it for me lol. Nearly 15 years later here I still am, with a bit of a hiatus in-between lol. Kids for ya.
Take it easy man, glad you're keeping well.
