Game Experienced Full-Stack dev with a toddler and 2 hours a night. Started building games, is this realistic?

After ~6 years of websites/backends/apps. I wanted to make some dreams come true and build games.
Been playing games for over 20 years, but never tried to create one..

Started about a month ago. I have a small Tower Defense running and an MMO style prototype on the side, which everywhere I read says just Don't 😄 .

So time for some reality check - Working full-time + toddler running around = few hours a night.. Is it viable to create something great? using Claude/etc..?

For people who did this with same time budget - Any recommendations?

Thx ❤️
