1) I started programming around the age of 11-ish when my mom was laid off.

2) Initially, I learned from http://www.icodeblog.com before switching to Unity.

3) Juggle It is actually my second game.

Thanks for your support.

> when my mom was laid off.

Not sure what the relevance is of this. Was that inspiration for you to try make some money and support your family?

Yup, I was inspired to work and make money because of this.
Not sure how to explain this, but on a personal level, "when my mom was laid off" references a specific point in time, while 11-ish references a period of potentially years.

"11-ish" is likely more useful to everyone else, but "when my mom was laid off" is far more accurate, researchable time measurement.
