As a kid, I wanted to be a game developer. I was well on my way to start an education in programming and stuff like that, BUT, I bailed out in the last second because I realized it would involve a lot of complex math I couldn't bother with and I figured MAKING a game wouldn't be as fun as playing them. Too technical and convoluted for me. I realized I was more of a storyteller and moved on to writing. But sometimes that gamer in me still has ideas, great ideas that I can't imagine would work well as novels but great as video games. I had a bit of a eureka moment last night about an idea that would be brilliant, bold, edgy but... I dunno how it'd work as a novel. It seemed more like it would work as an RTS 'cause it involved war over resources between two superpowers and some rebel groups, but it'd be strongly tried to real world events and conflicts and my own ideas over what could happen in the future. But I dunno how to make video games. ;w; It's frustrating 'cause I was proud of this idea. I guess nothing says I can't learn how to make games now but I don't like programming and it'd feel like starting over my whole education 'cause I already went in the direction or writer and studied biology because I was hoping to make work with animals or something rather than a boring computer job. So ask myself, has this idea gone to waste or what can I do with it? 'cause I'd hate to see this idea I'm passionate about go to waste.
