Have you ever tried to seriously pursue what you want to pursue? I ask because I was in the same situation, and now, when I'm financially independent and don't work, I found that I actually don't want to pursue my supposed interests anymore. It seems that they were just escapist daydreams that helped me cope working the job.
- bluefirebrand 4y agoI've thought that it's just escapist fantasy before, and in fact there was a period of a few years where I firmly told myself "I don't actually want to make games anymore, I will never do it" but I keep coming back to the idea. The truth is that making games is what I want to do, but I don't want to sacrifice to do it. The industry is notoriously brutal to get into and have a career progression in, so I avoided it after university. So really the only way I would make games is either solo or on an indie team, but those paths are similarly brutal. So it remains a dream. But maybe if I weren't so tired all the time, working a bit in my evenings and weekends wouldn't feel like such a sacrifice.
