I tried to get into game development once, but the amount of workarounds that you have to do when scripting makes me go mad. I'm used to a more structured approach of programming when I got into game development there's so much that can be basically called hacks my mind just imploded.
Well, I learned programming through game dev, and haven't really entered the world of programming outside yet... so I'm scared of what's to come when I start my CS degree haha
Get a game development degree in Colorado instead! It's like CS but with less math and more programming projects.
Game development is harder than most programming jobs.
Eh, it's too late haha my course starts in two months
