Running the stats, I get:

mean age = 24.16
standard deviation = 6.76

Of course, all of our deviations are non-standard.

For the record, the data set I used is:

[ 28, 28, 30, 14, 21, 26, 18, 45, 24, 20, 25, 19, 26, 16, 15, 23, 29, 23, 29, 18, 34, 19, 28, 22, 33, 24, 14, 18, 26, 34, 20 ]

I'd be pretty average too, then? I'm 20 ^-^
According to PyTom's average, that makes me a bit younger than average, though.

I'm also new to the boards, so hi~~

hehe me too. (unless that one 15 in the data was me)
How do you make your games? I see. Thank you for the prompt replies, but it is my considered opinion that you're doing it wrong inefficiently because I am a perfushenal professional. Do it my way this way and we can all ascend VN Nirvana together while allowing me to stroke my ego you will improve much faster. Also, please don't forget to thank me for this constructive critique or I will cry and bore you to death respond appropriately with a tl;dr rant discourse of epic adequately lengthy proportions. - Sarcasm Veiled in Euphemism: Secrets of Forum Civility by lordcloudx (Coming soon to an online ebook near you.)

I'm 27 , but as you've probably seen even at this age I often have the
"I can't do it...it's too hard" whiny mindset. *snortgiggle*

I'll be 31 in a couple months. ><

I so don't feel that old. So I'm probably more in my late teens mentally. :P

I claim the silver medal at 36. Though my taste in games is extremely immature.

15 going on 16, and crazy enough to make a manga (for RSOM, to whoever can decode that acronym :X) and start writing the different possible storylines for an upcoming VN. :twisted: I just picked up the Ren'Py engine yesterday, and have learned the script from the quick start and various manual parts. (Movies and such.) Also, having so many media format converters around really helps >: D. I've also learned most of Photoshop, some Blender3d, and most of the Deleter Comicworks interface. (Manga - Styled - Scene in the middle?!?!) I'm planning on learning how to animate, so that I may make my own cutscenes. :D
Dysfunctional Systems
Juniper's Knot
Cradle Song, a visual novel in development
Memo, a visual novel

[02:49] <Komi> How is Dysfunctional Systems coming along?
[02:52] <Doomfest> have you seen prince of egypt
[02:53] <Doomfest> do you remember that scene with the storm of bugs
[02:54] <Komi> I know what you are talking about, but I can't remember the scene.
[02:54] <Doomfest> that is what it feels like
[02:55] <Komi> Personality conflicts on the team, I take it?
[02:56] <Doomfest> no
[02:56] <Doomfest> just bugs
[02:56] <Doomfest> storm of bugs

All of 20, college student, and probably "practically married" in the eyes of other people my age (I've been in a long distance relationship for two years this Saturday).
