I probably would if I could make it my day job. Like if I could just work on games and stream myself doing it, great.
But streaming myself making games in my spare time while working a full time job that has to be in private because it's for a corporation? It's been a bit too much work for me to keep up with it.
The few times I did it, it might have kept me on task more but it also slowed me down doing development because I was trying to explain what I was doing and not just being silent while coding. Also if anyone was watching and did talk to me it tended to get super distracting.
I'd have to do it, and do it regularly, in order to find the success I'm hoping for with my games and/or get to the point where I could do it full time, but it's been tough to maintain.
Still hoping to give it another shot at some point, though. Maybe if I can cash in some investments and take a few months sabbatical, I can build in public while I was doing it, and get in the habit of doing so / streamline my environment to make it easier to keep up with it.
