You’re really bringing out something interesting points here that I think applies to any hobby as much as it does to gamedev. I’ve been struggling with this for a long time (being a student does not help either), this makes me feel more like it alright to just goof around a bit. Very appreciated!

Thanks for stopping by! I’ve definitely felt this with other hobbies too.
It’s weird, I do have other hobbies where I’m totally comfortable with them being just for me, but when it came to gamedev I convinced myself I needed to follow a certain trajectory because that’s what I saw others doing. Letting myself goof around in general has helped me enjoy stuff a lot more. Glad the post resonated with you.
