different backdrops that make it awkward as fuck (like a group of people staring at the church, at a funeral, on a bus, in an elevator). also needs moments of silence where the music cuts out and you can just hear the moans

this stuff is why, when people ask me whether they should go into #gamedev, I just tell them I personally wouldn't.

and that's despite me having an absolute unicorn dream job.

I just know the odds.

it helps to work with other people. choose an idea and start on it together with a friend or industry contact. then you won't be able to drop it as easily in moments of doubt

not very, in my experience. but it's definitely not a bad direction to approach game design from, go for it!
