I am personally not interested in game development. However, I just wanted to chime in to let you know that age should not be a factor when considering someone for a programming position. I know several teenagers who are extremely better at writing code than most college graduates that I have came across. That and the fact that 20+ means that the person probably already has a job taking up their time and expect to be compensated, where as the younger group may do it just for fun.
