  It certainly feels like having 10 jobs at once.<br>...while still working a regular job &nbsp;to finance your development

  I have 40+ years experience in software development, and recently retired. To keep my mind active I thought I&apos;d have a go at developing a 2D platform game. I can confirm, game dev is hard, very hard. I have a lot of respect for professional game developers, their skill sets are impressive.

  As a solo game developer, whenever I want to implement a new thing I get crushed by the overwhelming amount of details I&apos;ve to do. Thank you for the video!

  Games are the most complex type of media cause they take all aspects of creativity together

  This is exactly why I respect game developers, I once made a simple arcade game with a bit of coding with C# and I swear I almost put a hole in my monitor because the code wasn&apos;t working the way I wanted it to. But when you finally do get the code to work... What you feel is almost indescribable

  Basically core owns the right to your game.

  It amazes me when gamers react with an outcry (cursing in anger) when a developer delays/postpones their game for launch. Game development is indeed HARD... and the amount of game systems (that&apos;s art/3D object, physics, A.I., networking etc) that work in unison when a gamer is finally playing the release product is mind-boggling.

  This video is really good and legit. I do however want to point out that you can still accomplish huge things in game design on your own or with a small team this day in age. There are incredibly powerful tools available for cheap and even free. The learning process to build an entire game is long, and difficult. Especially if you&apos;re thinking of an rpg. In my experience, single player games can be done fairly simply with alot of knowledge and experience, multiplayer games are a stretch to even try(alone or with a small team). But don&apos;t let the reality beat you up. If you really really want something, you can make it happen. I&apos;ve been making games with blender and unity for nearly 6 years, and have prototyped/concepted my own rpg 5 times. Only now in 2022, am i confident enough to build the official version. But I&apos;ve done it. I&apos;ve learned enough to make it happen, and you can too. (Knowing is one thing, then you have to put in the years of hard work that still exist to bring it to life). CREATION IS KING! NEVER GIVE UP!

  Coding games is like this for me. You either get a ton of work in a day, or you get none because of an error.
