Hello,
I prefer to keep my name anonymous, but Brian seems to remember me as seen in our email exchange.
I used to be a student of Breda University of Applied Sciences (back then it was still called NHTV) 12 or so years ago, but then I dropped out, became an authorized 3rd party Nintendo game developer a month before having to leave, so I failed education and also failed console game development after releasing 2 mediocre games, so ended up in the web development industry first in the Netherlands, and nowadays in Japan.
But I have really grown to dislike the direction the modern web has been going into, so I'm frequently joining game development meetups in and around the Tokyo area to work on my own game and game engine from scratch, which so far I've been enjoying way more than even web development in plain Go using only the standard library.
I noticed that every time you get something to work in game development, it feels like an achievement, and you get motivated in doing even more.
And while in the web development space you get frown upon and insulted for not using Laravel, in the game development space you get cheered on for not using Unity, which is quite the difference.
