Do whatever you feel is better for you.
I tried myself to create games in the past, but never could create something worth to show (lets not even talk to finishing it), instead I discovered I enjoy more creating systems and stuff with coding so I'm working in an game engine and despite is still shit compared to Godot-Unity or any other big engine its mine and gives me joy be working on it. Maybe some day will become something interesting, maybe some day I will do a game on it, maybe will be there by eternity incomplete xD But that's not really important as long I feel good making it.
