You do not need to be 18+ to create game
Depending on the support and country you need to be 18+ to publish
If you are only 13 years old you can explain to your parents that you need help to receive the huge amount of money you earn from internet, they will probably agree…
You can sell your game made with unity free but beware to not make it too much awesome, if too much people buy it and you earn more than 100 000$ you need to upgrade your liscence to pro, you still need to ask your parent permission, but i believe they will agree if their 13 years old buy just earned 100k$ to “offer you a licence”
You dont need a company, it is absolutely not required and will add a layer of problem. You can sell the game using the name of your parent after receiving their agreement.
No. Many publishers and platforms might not work with you if you’re under 18, but not all. I published my first game when I was 13. I think the publisher needed one of my parents to also sign the contract, but it was otherwise OK.
Yes.
Yes.
It depends on where you are. In the UK IIRC you need to be 18 (or maybe it’s 16) to be the director of a company. But you don’t need to be a company to make games, you can just get together with some people and make stuff.
As an example, In the US, you can not be on the apple app store if you are not of legal age. You can not just make up a fictitious ‘company’ and pretend to do business as most 13 year old indie developers attempt to do. You can’t even register your company on the app store without a DUNS number which is pretty hard to get unless you are legit
Also, more importantly, no companies can do business with YOU because you are under age. Unity can not license their software to you, none can make ‘deals’ with you to buy your app etc etc etc. Involve your parents or this is a hobby and nothing more.
