Hey guys, I've been trying to make this decision for a couple of years, and still aren't really too sure what I want to do. I'm currently in my second year of a Computer Science degree, and have been making games for a few years now (in Unity).
I enjoy making games on my own far more than I enjoy making software on my own, but I understand that the environment is different.
The main things I'm not sure about are wages (in the UK) and creative freedom (that may be an awful way of wording it). So for example, I like making my own games because I get to program a certain feature, test it, refine it, and see it work perfectly. Will I be doing that as a game developer in a team, or will i be doing more menial tasks?
Any personal anecdotes about how much they enjoy/enjoyed their jobs would be extremely useful.
Thanks,
Danny
