There's a hard truth that needs to be stated: Outsourcing
Sweetshops in AE and eastern Europe are good enough for a fraction of the cost
Everybody yelling at AI but most juniors aren't getting jobs because a senior with 10 years experience in Morocco works for $15k/yr

Hey 3D students work 15 hours a day so your applications can get ghosted/auto rejected ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ

We make our own luck
Luck favors the prepared
The world will not just hand you opportunity, you have to hunt it down and choke it into submission

Psh. First two things I tell anybody when they ask how I got in to the industry: Talent wasnโt NOT a factor but luck DEFINITELY was, and my specific path is essentially unreplicable today.
Once youโre in you DO have to work your ass off to get to certain positions though.

It's really frustrating.
Henning, and others, are not saying this stuff to discourage people
We are saying this because nobody else is telling them reality
They are ruining their lives because they think it's easier than it is by a wide margin

Itโs the exact opposite actually: the most hearbreaking thing I see are students who are in their third year of uni and werenโt told this in year one. Now they have a LOT of debt and no skills, and wonโt join the industry for years.
Truth is that very few people who only do the school work get into the industry.

I've done several game releases
I still work 80hrs/week
I have a newborn child as well
Worked through except for the week of his birth
I don't expect people to be as hardcore as me
But if I can figure it out, then you (the reader) have no reason not to

For 3D students: Most Iโve met simply arenโt doing the hours needed to get into the industry. Studying only 10:00-16:00 every day wonโt cut it - particularly since only a portion of the day is spent on actual work.

Its a hard pill to swallow, and one many dont want to admit. When I was in class, far too many fellow students were more interested in gaming than game art. If you want to succeed, you have eat sleep and breathe the craft. Thatโs who youre competing against for the same jobs.

Es que me parece brutal. Proplica fueron tan detallistas de recrear, no solo la rรฉplica del Duel Disk, si no tambiรฉn de la caja. Es genial.

Hot take.
Folks have villainized Navi for decades, but this owl was the real menace in Ocarina of Time One wrong button press and you're stuck moving through 20 dialogue boxes.
Again. For the third or fourth time. Because you're mashing buttons to get it over with.

Some people are too young to understand but back in the day Nintendo had a streak of weird in them that can be felt in OoT and MM but not in the newer games. That part of them began dying during the Wii and it was dead and buried by the time Switch released.

This is what you have to do
At the end of the day, the only who can cancel your project is you
At least you're not at the mercy of the studio to cancel it from under you

I've been thinking a lot about long haul game development lately. It takes incredible mental and spiritual fortitude to work on one thing for years at a time, with no pay, and the distinct possibility that the only reward will be that you can say you saw it through to the end.
You'll find long haul devs working in total defiance of the odds, and public opinion (often the subject of ridicule), laser focused on a vision of a reality that doesn't exist to anyone else yet. It's pure passion. They believe their game is good and beautiful, and something deep within their soul knows that they need to bring it into the world. And to do that - they are willing to walk a very exceptional, very lonely road.
Stardew Valley is one of the most common examples of a game that took a long time to make - which is funny, because 4 years is not that long (especially for one guy doing literally everything). This quote is from an AMA @ConcernedApe did a few years ago.
It's a good lesson on keeping your determination. Believe that it will work out, and even if it doesn't, you will learn and keep going.
