to all people who can make games (I dont know exactly how to adress you) I am a kid who aspires to make games when I grow up and I was just wondering,whats it like making games, just in general?

that and at the end of the day, is it really a career worth pursuing, I love playing video games and I know if I just get some menial cubicle job I can fund my hobby for the rest of my life, so I kind of need to know. I want to make games but Im also worried I wont be very good at it or that my ideas will just fall flat. I know most of you are indie developers but youre farther along then I am.so if you could just answer my question Id greatly appreciate it.

What Peepants McPologises Esquire said, only more harshly worded, but I would also like to tell you that if you really wanna turn a hobby into a career, you better love doing it more than anything else.

Well hello slive!
Making games in general involves hard work. The thing that is really hard is- the computer has no Mind. YOur mission is to "create a mind for the computer" so you need programming. It involves lot of typing.

Still, I think you should continue pursuing your career

thanks to all of you who chose to answer my question and also I didnt think it would fit in the programming section because it didnt have anything to do with programming help
