    Exactly like all software developers who thought they were going to make games or some world changing application at least in their own time, and then five years later they are just logging out for the day and playing games or streaming crap all evening like everyone else.

        Nice! I took up film photography. I even develop the film myself, and the only time I have to touch a computer is if I want to scan my film to store it digitally

      I tried making games a while back and I’ve no idea how people do it. It was rough trying to enjoy your own game after you’ve spent 1000 hours play testing every aspect of it. Half way though the game Id stop thinking my own game was fun. I don’t think I can ever be a game dev.

        Playtesting? What’s that? Seems like an old practice that only slowed down release schedules
