I can't even fathom the idea of quitting.
Perhaps because game making is so fun and meaningful to me.
So you want to ask yourself,
what exactly is game making to you?
Is it
a hobby? If it's not relaxing you and starting to cause stress, then yeah... you would want to quit.
Is it something you want to make into
a business?
Yeah if you're not bringing in money, you would want to quit.
For me, I use game making as
a tool to...
put myself into an anime-like world.
I put myself, as a character in fictional situations, with colorful characters. I talk and interact with them, be myself, and have an adventure of a time!
I get to be a protagonist of a story. I get to tackle my fears and doubts and weaknesses and learn and grow from experiencing all sorts of pain.
For the 4 stories I've written for my 4 games, (as of writing this) each of them have brought me so much value and experience and growth.
I used to watch anime, and play games, for this exact thing. To experience colorful fictional worlds, meet and interact with amazing characters, and then learn something from the whole experience.
I have realized now that making a game, gives me that 10 times more.
At this point in time, I have quit watching movies and anime, reading manga, and playing games.
All I do now, is make games.
Or rather,
I experience for myself, what I used to watch other, fictional characters, experience.
