I keep on going to myself "I want to make a game" but let's face it that is not a thing that will happen by itself. Especially as I want to Make A Game rather than Get A Game Made.
Something is holding me back and I'm not sure what. I guess it feels like an indulgence when I am in the midst of the worst jobs market I have seen in my adult life? And it's got a fairly steep learning curve to boot, although it definitely wasn't too steep for teenage me with simpler tools somehow :neocat_sweat:.
At the moment I don't have great ideas for games to be made, when I was younger the inspiration would come from ideas I picked up in school (e.g. physics or maths concepts) or were basically clones of existing game concepts (adapted to the needs of the platform I was making it for). I do have a book on maze generation so using that as a starting point is tempting, but again, indulgence, mental block.
This is mostly a vent but I am open to advice.
