The Future of Games is an Instant Flash to the past
Gamedev has got to be the most rewarding type of software coding there is. It’s a type of coding that is much closer to actual artistic creation rather than engineering. The sheer amount of creative &amp; engaging stories, puzzles, real-time strategies and on top of this entirely multiplayerable online allows for an infinite amount of types of entertaining creations… all made possible thanks to code.<p>Sure there’s untapped potential in all kinds of types of software; hell people are reinventing 2d design (think Figma etc) &amp; issue management (newly released GitHub issues). But surely building “yet another react form” feels like coding an already solved problem.<p>What I mean is that gamedev has possibly the most untapped potential for coders wanting to make something truly amazing, with a sheer infinite amount of possible creations.<p>You’re not approaching the creation with the usual “what problem am I trying to solve” but rather “what’s the most fun thing I can build?”.
