"What happened after 2010?". GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.
This was a response to a Hacker News comment asking me what I've been up to since 2010. I'm posting it here since HN rejects it with "that comment is too long." I suppose that's fair, since this ended up being something of an autobiography. -- What happened after 2010? A lot of soul searching. I was disillusioned from gamedev. My entire life, from age 13 till then, was dedicated to the idea of being a game creator. And I no longer found satisfaction in it. I had it in my head that gamedev was somehow going to be "not merely a job." After all, that's why we love the idea of making games, right?
