    It will get better. I needed some years, and I never got as deep into games as before, but I’m a big boy now, that might be the reason. The game industry is a vampire and it’ll suck you dry. To be honest, that’s for bigger studios. I have no clue how indie studios are.

      In an analog, my college degree required me to read. A lot. Like, I devoured books as a kid, but this was a lot, every week, and it was a required reading. I enjoy it, but I didn’t read after that. I’ve also heard similar experiences from my friends who went to law school, so much reading they’ve stopped reading. My husband knows several artists who go into graphic design and stop doing art in their personal time.

      I just last month got back into reading. It’s been over twenty years since college and I just got the ability to read through more than a handful of pages in a book.

      When something is work, you don’t necessarily want to do it in your offtime.
