I wanted to get into video game design. The competition is rough. However lots of independent designers are making good games nowadays. Maybe guide him to do something independent and see how it goes. Stardew valley is one of the games I speak of. Binding of Isaac another.
He got into a magnate school this year. It’s like a high school you have to audition for. He got in with a game he made himself. He’s doing well in their games program. I was asked to be a mentor at the school and I accepted. My nephew is on a team of six kids and 4 of them are gender confused. I don’t want to be a bigot, but it’s these fellows that are ruining the games industry. My nephew wants to make strategy games about herding cattle or fighting the government, the other 4 want to make sim games about converting to being a woman. I’d like to do the cow herding game.
4 Years, 10 hour days, 7 days a week with your girlfriend earning big bucks with a degree for stardew apparently. I've never played it but I can't imagine there being anything healthy about that lifestyle. You don't hear about solo devs like that in their 30s and 40s cause they aren't that fucking stupid and unbalanced
You've got a point there. I used Stardew as an example because he did eventually wind up making a decent amount of it. However, it's like lightning striking on whether you'll make it or not. In your 20's putting in that kind of time is one thing, but if you are still working on that in your 30's then everyone else is passing you up in the game of life.
