3d industry sucks, getting back to programming

also I will not give in to degenrate shit like working for furries, pornography or anime, I'm a respectable adult.

I really wish i could work in video games. i dont understand people who bitch about salary or hours. i would gladly have a shit salary and bad hours if i could make a video game. i mean isnt that the point? the greatest games of all time were made by people sleeping under the desks. i dont give a fuck.

it's very hard to get in, unless it's indie or starting a game yourself, and sooner or later you gotta make a living.

That's literally impossible though. Its not fair that you need to master basically every art and skill in life to make a game. Everythings so fucked nowadays. Those old devs in the old days never had to sign up for the hell that is being a modern indie dev. and i dont even care about making a living

The industry was worse back in the day. Trust me. Programing was way harder, and platforms where locked down, PCs where non existent, and hardware was ludicrously expensive.
Every platform had to be targeted individually.
Honestly we're in the golden age of indie dev. A halfwit that can swallow their pride and learn can build a game in a weekend

Go make an indie game then, those aren't expected to have multinationals and thousands of devs working on them

The game industry is pretty unwelcoming to young and or inexperienced workers, its a really bad career path. I was looking at job listings at Riot Games the other day and every position required several years of experience and some pretty heavy stuff. I'm not surprised game devs are generally older. It's a huge commitment and you have to throw yourself at it for years.

I've met plenty of artists like you.
the only reason you can't make money with your art is because it's not only saturated, but you are most likely staggeringly mediocre and worthless for that industry if you have to consider furry pr0n at all in the first place. you're not doing any better with programming, if anything you will be competing with pajeets instead of russians and might end up coming back here bitching that you only make furry porn games or webdev for some chinese pyramid scheme. you failed to work on your craft, so don't get excited. for all intents and purposes fuck off back to with that mentality, faggot.

yeah and what do you get in return for learning all that stuff? the fact that almost everyone else in a game / vfx company is getting paid more than the artists, who not only have to have exceptional artistic skills but also technical and even programming skills while not having as many opportunities to grow as someone who only does programming for example.
shit is bizarre.

nah it wasn't you're wrong here. countless of those guys got their start with zero skill or knowledge. literally just walked onto a team. so shut the fuck up.
I literally expressed why thats impossible. to make an indie game you need to master every art and skill. thats just not doable. its way too hard to make a game nowadays
