I only have one (uncredited) mobile game release to my name, despite working in games for 5+ years. Some of my friends have been in this industry for a whole ass decade and they have 0 games to their name.
This came up when I was like “I dunno, I think I failed being in games and should try to find work somewhere else” and they were like “you’re the only one of us who has actually released a game”
- Released four AAA games in three years - Because I worked on their PC ports for six months each
- Worked on a free-to-play game for 1 1/2 years that went absolutely nowhere
- Worked on a game mode for a AAA game for nine months that was completely scrapped
- Worked on a different AAA game for a year (it was canceled)
- Worked on a different AAA game for literally two weeks
- Worked on a live service disaster for a year that shipped without any of my code in it
- Currently working on a live service disaster that is supposed to come out in
