it doesn't have to be hard

It's not, you're just challenged

>brainlets need not apply

>just use Unity
>just use Love2d
>just use Unreal
>just use XYZ with these 100 premade assets bro

Yes, because it's challenging

This but to a ludicrous degree

game dev is basically drag and drop now

Graphics are no fun to do

Why should i remake the wheel you dumbass?

how's school?

Requires a lot of trial and error and a number redesigns to make something passable. Which you can say about development in general, but game design seems to be especially the case here.

just dont do what mass effect andromeda did

work on augmented reality instead :3

Yeah, if you want to create the Uninspired Unity Platformer #314987. Actually good games take time, skill and an insane amount of dedication. If you don't believe me just try and create a good game. Let's see you drag and drop fun into your game

Because there’s a ton of money in it, and a ton of people wanna do it. Projects from large companies with tons of money balloon in size and complexity and you either work on these projects or compete with them. If you want to work on those projects you’re competing with pretty smart people who love video games and who are willing to put up with crunch times.

ANY industry with those features is going to create products that are hard to make.

Because otherwise you'll be the #421987 dev making bullshit games no one cares about with premade assets? Or do you have millions of dollars to spend on unique assets when using these super duper hi tech engines? You want to know why most indies go for "8-bit" style? It's because it's viable, dumb-dumb

games are kind of the most advanced software out there
has to run at a consistent framerate, so you can't have slow or sometimes slow code
graphics constantly updating

meanwhile the brainlets at microsoft think writing a terminal emulator is this huge project

It isn't but you're at the mercy of if your game becomes a meme or not

Nobody plays games anymore they want to buy it so they can pretend to fit in to some online club

It's all about sucking off some youtube celeb who doesn't play it either

You should try harder, user!

It really depends on what kind of game you want to develop.

I built an MMO in 24 hours AMA.

does it a graphics?

Who needs a graphics?

It's not so hard, it's just that if you're making a game alone, you have to learn how to be an artist, coder, musician, and writer simultaneously.
