Hi!
My name is Chris and right now I have finally made the decision to write an introduction post on this forum, to start communicating with people that I have similar interests and views with, meeting new people, gaining knowledge and helping out others whenever it will be possible.
I'm 18 and still in school, but there's only 1 year left, which means that there is still some time for me to figure out what should I do to setup an easier future for my future self. At the moment I am working as full-stack web developer in my dad's company and because I'm one of the main developers I have to work 10-12 hours daily, so I don't have much time left for anything else. In the 2-3 hours I have free every day after job, I am developing a game.
The problem is that I don't know whether I should work on releasing a game (which is something I want to do, because I have been in game development for a couple years now and somehow haven't managed to release a single game on PC, so giving up game development without achieving this milestone would feel like throwing out those years) or I should try to find needs and problems people have and try to solve them. I understand that simply doing what I want to do is pointless, and I should better go the second route, but technically, I will still have time to start finding and solving problems after I have achieved my goal of releasing a game, but in the same time I would make so much progress in learning how to find and solve problems in this time, so I don't really know what should I go with.
I would really appreciate an advice on whether I should stick with releasing a game or give it up and start finding problems and solving them, or maybe if you have a different advice, that would be amazing too.
Thanks for reading!
Chris
