First of all, let me tell you how impressed I am with your eye-catching artwork and art style. I want to congratulate you on a work well done and presented.
I'm a full-time employee (7 AM - 4:30 PM 🥲). I'm thankful to my job for paying my bills and rent. But my passion that I discovered during the lockdown was game development. I managed to release my first short game in 2021; you can check it out CABOUS. I started working on another project but got busy with work projects that I would get home exhausted and just want to sleep.
- Time management is my first challenge as a full-time employee and part-time game developer.
- Maintaining your relationships with people during the development period is another challenge.
- Maintaining your health by sparing time to work/exercise and eating healthily is also a major issue.
I believe if you're determined to do something, you will eventually do it anyway. However, still, you don't have to overkill yourself because it will eventually get you backlash by feeling down for not producing the final project. At least, that's what I felt.
That's all on my mind for now.
Wishing you all the best with your game.
