Never quit, keep working on your goal day-by-day, and you will complete it!
Good luck building that macaroni staircase to the moon 
Dont need luck, Need a plan, determination, and persistence. I’m using Buckyballs not macaroni:)
Might not be able to build a staircase to the moon with macaroni but in the process learn to feed the world.
To True! Another piece of advice is put aside differences and ask for help if you get stuck.
(I learned this the hard way)
As Tech Lord says NEVER QUIT!
Who says that as a game dev we have to earn money? Why not just do it for the fun? I do agree though that there is a possibility that gaming is not your thing. I think though that when you go over that cliff there is always a way to open your parachute and make a nice landing in your new thing.
The point is, there is such a thing as achievable objectives; no amount of determination or persistence will allow you to achieve what you cannot.
“Who says that as a game dev we have to earn money? Why not just do it for the fun?”
that’s the spirit.ive been doing it for about 8 years and havnt made any money(spent a fair bit though)but I have made a few games and demos and loved every minute of it.
Is that a motivation thread?
I hope as hobby?
Finishing is the key.
Define your objective precisely in practical terms.
Then just make progress until you’re done.
Many times “quit” is a gateway to find success somewhere else. Successful birds often have their eggs split between multiple baskets.
I knew a guy, he invested all his life focusing only on his dream career… Everything failed, because life happens, he couldn’t feed his family and after a while his wife and kids left him. He was around 12 years older than me, but we became friends for common interests (art, comics, drawing, games, etc).
Long story short: he doesn’t exist anymore.
While I split my focus a bit to keep going, he couldn’t handle failure on the only thing he ever wanted to do and depression consumed the life out of him.
Because of that, I always consider a dangerous “advice” when people say “-never quit!”… Quitting could actually be the solution for your struggles and possibly even save your life.
I believe developing ability to adapt yourself and keep an open mindset is the way to go.
We had become kind of close friends and all the time I stop to think what if the obsessed one was me, what I’d do in his situation… The last time I talked to the guy was 7 years ago when I left hometown, adapting was a must, not many things happened as I planned.
I talked to him a few times online and was very weird for both when I was explaining I had become a programmer;
When we did talk online I noticed he often pointed that learning English had become a barrier too high for him (we aren’t native speakers).
Then because he already had two kids he never left town and the fact that there wasn’t established industry there only made things worse… Later on he got involved with drugs and the rest is story.
So yeah, maybe half the trick is: don’t aim so high, focus on reasonable steps you can accomplish one by one instead of dreaming of dominating the whole world at once. We are humans and human is limited by nature.
Is that a motivation thread?no,i guess not.not for most people anyway.
Thanks for the channel
To fail is to learn, to quite is to fail.
