Indie game dev is one of the hardest programming there is. Doing web dev feels like child's play in comparison. The sheer amount of work that goes into making a game or did before things like unity came into picture. I remember reading super long articles on NeHe just to detect collision between two items.

It's just amazing that so many new indie games are released.
