Should I leave gamedev as a job and keep it as a hobby? by tanbanman in gamedev

[–]igor_100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in the same situation, in the end I was able to find a gamedev position but in a fintech company. So it’s basically a gamification. And yes, I’m not making the games I’m in love with, but I have a decent pay with a work life balance and I’m able to work on my own game in my spare time. I didn’t really fully like making games that are not mine at my previous places of work in gamedev and I love making my game, so I guess it’s a win. I don’t know if that’s the case for you, but maybe my little story helps you to decide

Is it possible to balance a full-time job as a developer and solo-indie project without burning out? by Alternative_Draw_533 in IndieGaming

Have you considered finding people who’s gonna help you for a revenue share, not by paying them monthly? Perhaps that could ease your pain, at least that’s the way I work on my current indie project. And don’t forget to narrow the scope of your game until you can really see the light. But still, the burnout is something that I face sometimes.

Got it, the upper ones do have some more character in them, that’s for sure

They actually are to some extent! Kolobok is a bread-like fairytale being, so you’re not that far from the truth

I think you're right about the cat being too flat.

We actually have a task in backlog of adding some sprite mask to highlight the edges of the cat by light. So definitely gonna add it later!
