I would claim it's the most risky type of software coding. And because of that probably also the most "dirty" way of software coding...
- samkelly 5y agoI've spent like the last 10 years of my life making a few games that nobody will ever play. I don't feel like the years were wasted though, because the games were rewarding to build and stuff doesn't need to make money to be worth the time spent.
- chromanoid 5y agoSure, but would you support a generic global statement like this? > "Gamedev has got to be the most rewarding type of software coding there is." I am also a game development enthusiast, but I would say this is the reason why it feels so rewarding. The way of programming is not the reason, in my opinion.
