I started thinking about making and selling videogames a couple of months ago and haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I've been depressed a long time now and I can't find my feelings about it. I don't know if it's something I genuinely want to do or if it's a sort of frustration where I just fantasize about being successful.

I've got no experience making a proper game but I got a bit of familiarity with Gamemaker, I've got notes and stories written down for what would happen in the game and how I'd want it to play and I've got a few thousand dollars in savings that I could put into it but I just don't know if it'd end up a horrible mess. I dunno. What do you think what would you do?

>something i genuinely want to do.

Ill bet you like 99% of the population isnt doing something they genuinely want to do. That was a pipe dream. A lie. All jobs suck, nothing is going to be so profoundly interesting youll be in love with it in college day 1 to final.

I swear those "do what you love" campaigns in school were the dumbest and worst bits of advice every given to kids.

Having a job is about having income so you can keep eating paying rent and have something to do so you dont get all lazy and depressed.

Youd probably be less depressed and unmotivated if you were a mf janitor all these years for crissakes.

>im in college so i cant see myself doing this

Too bad. Thats your training now. Thats what you offer society. Thats your marketable knowledge. Read above. Now go do it.

Oh and about making games.

Same bro. Just started codijg stuff with a friend.

Thing is we have well paying jobs. We code on evenings and weekends. The odds of our work going anywhere at all is low. Same for you. I suggest you prioritize an income, then work on things like games.

I got a job offer from a game company but it was full of nerdy guys with no cute girls so I decided against it
