I'm been fascinated to make games but never truly jumped into it. I'd love to pick it as a hobby but quiet unable to balance this hobby when always worrying about to put time into 'doing certification' or doing 'LC'. To get an idea on your situation and compare it with mine,
1) did you have any formal game development experience in the past? say in school?
2) since you made it into FAANG, did you LC before or time during FAANG to find another FAANG job?
3) does anyone in your personal circle does game development?
4) so instead of first developing the game, you already were in talking with publishers? what kind of background did you have for publisher to 'ok' you which i'm guessing supported you financially?
