With the exception of making stuff as a kid (I was in my 30s!) this is my journey exactly. It's so easy to bite off more than you can chew with your first game idea, since you don't really have any context for how big a project it'll be! I also retreated to the safety of game jams, and now have also started trying to pull together an actual game. So, er, twinsies? Haha, I bet this is actually a really common path to take. Welcome to the community!
