If it was actually neutral they would have allowed negative posts about both candidates instead of just one . <| sep |> As always , I ' m not a game dev . I ' m a programmer , designer and hobby illustrator . Sounds to me like it ' s your own insecurity reflecting back at you . If I were you I ' d ask myself this Why do I make games ? Preferably in the most pretentious inner voice you can muster . But seriously , I see exactly the same situation all the time in the illustration field . Lots of people wanting to be great at d r awingpaintingillustrating . Only a few of them truly want it though . Most of them don ' t feel like taking it seriously . What they really want to do is draw quick cool actionhero or hotgirl character art every once in a while . There ' s nothing wrong with wanting that . Not as long as one is aware that without the dedication to really bite down and practice , that dream of greatness is highly unlikely to ever be fulfilled . So if all you want to do is to have fun making small games for your own enjoyment , then it ' s all good . Keep it up ! Just don ' t expect to end up as the next Tim Shafer . If you get really lucky you might end up as the next Notch though . Even if you don ' t , you ' ve already attained your goal . You are having fun making games . What others think of it doesn ' t matter one bit ! But if you DO want to make it big , then you need to dig down and practice . That is , you need to push yourself . Not necessarily by going all in on some super ambitious 4 year hail mary concept . But aim above your comfort zone . Towards a place you can only reach if you improve . Make yourself struggle . That way , when you do come up with a game idea you believe in strongly enough to go all in on , you ' ll hopefully be skilled enough to pull it off ! Regardless , constantly pushing yourself should definitely get rid of that fake dev feeling you have . You ' re not faking . You are practicing and learning . So ask yourself that question . Either you can relax and keep having fun , or you know why you ' re feeling unease and hopefully what you need to do to change that .
