Yeah, oh no a bunch of people got into an industry that they loved so much they got underpaid and lowered the value of their labour to be treated worse.
But then a bunch of them realized they could just use their passion to make something themself and get paid for it and now we are having a hard time justifying why the big industry's "shovels" are special.

It is a shame this happening to lots of industries right now for lots of other reasons too. With the big industry now trying to justify it as being cheaper to make because they automated all the people that make the product especially better.

I certainly wanted to be a gameDev, and had shit ideas. It is my fault.

[-] Newsteinleo@infosec.pub 7 points 3 days ago

You probably don't have shit ideas, you just need help making you ideas work. Even Tolkien had a group of people help I'm improve the Hobbit.

One of the things I wanted to make, is a pixel style build a vehicle game, where you earn parts for vehicles that you build.

If you still have a hint of that spark in you, download a game engine and give it a go. Make something short and quick just to learn. It's a fun hobby when you don't let it consume your life.

Godot is a free and open source game engine, so lemmy would eat me alive if I didn't mention it, but any of them, including Unity, would work for this purpose.

I simply don't have time or energy, because I'm fighting for survival in an extremely toxic work and home environment.

[-] AlolanYoda@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Man I get you. I have barely touched this hobby in years. Best of luck to you, I hope things improve on those fronts.

More of a late stage capitalism issue than a millennial issue

Mostly or straight became indie devs or got they asses fired on AAA studios, let's be honest indie and double A studios are what still keep this hobbie alive today

the entire us went to shit, what's your point

[-] TheHalifaxJones@lemm.ee 11 points 4 days ago

The people who break there bakes making the games. Are the ones who enjoyed them as kids. It’s the executives and managers who run the decisions. Who have never played games before.
