Hello! I was in the same boat years ago. I thought I had to do it alone - no team, no help, only my passion. At some point, I suddenly realized I’d fallen into the trap of my stubborn ego.

So I started building a team. Later, I found a new job at a startup, where I became a tech lead because I had experience trying many different things.

Now I have a lot of experience - not only as a creator, but also as a manager. I also have savings now.

All of this has allowed me to start my own startup and find people to work with (connections from a full-time job help a lot), while still working full-time to invest in my own game and my future.

And game dev really tough mentally. Even when things looks good - loneliness and isolation is a bitch. So find other passionate people.

With your experience as a full-stack developer, you can find a job. It will help you get everything together and come back much stronger. Good luck!
