minus-squareidunnololz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoI’m so glad I made games as a hobby before I got anywhere close to graduating. Killed that dream real fast. It felt like shit having to play your own game so many times the game lost all meaning and it was hard to gauge if it was even fun anymore.
minus-squaremagic_lobster_party@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 months agoI’m also glad I did it as a hobby before I started viewing software development as a job. No code from me if there’s no money on the table.
minus-squareidunnololz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 months agoOh I actually love programming. I just hated writing games it turned out lmao. I love front-end development especially.

minus-squarecharmed_electron@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 months agoI did something similar. I would get about as far as writing the interesting mechanic/game logic and then give up.
