Have you got any advice for a dev that has lost passion? I got in the industry to make games, and though I’ve worked in the industry for 8 years I don’t feel I’ve had a meaningful impact on any project I’ve worked on. I consistently feel underqualified in roles and yet continue to studio hop towards promotion without issue. I have never shipped a game.
