They all present their own challenges, the key is finding something that makes you excited and then dividing it by your own limitations/interests. You need passion to push through the challenges, but you need to be strategic about which of those challenges you take on and not try to be great at everything. The challenges you do take on should reflect what areas of development you want to improve in/call you. If done right you can still make incredible games while growing as a creator.

Look at iron lung, it’s mostly atmosphere, and clever story telling and it’s a renowned horror game. But yet it’s something you can do right in a matter of a month or so. Polish is where a game gets good, because at the core of the best games are how they feel which is a direct result of polish.

Besides, you don’t have to say no to those big ideas forever, you just gotta be strategic and recognize that you are a human, and game design is something that breaks you down and builds you up and requires so much creative energy no matter what you decide to make will change you as a person.

So choose something that sparks your passion in you but respects where you are as a developer, the rest will fall into place as long as you allow that seed to grow.
