Yes. And I did. I was so done. I retired in 2019 and only returned because I thought starting Wardog might be different. A lot of my peers have dropped off over 20 years. One of the best concept artists I worked with in my early career would rather be a postman now. Here’s some advice: It’s a job. It can be exciting and rewarding, but also challenging and disappointing. It’s hard work. If you think the games industry will accommodate you or your needs as an individual stop and ask yourself “if I was a mechanic, or a chef, would i expect the same of my job and it of me? It’s okay to want to leave. Passion is a double edge sword. I don’t like working with people who have no passion for making games. At the same time I see people abused in the industry and only sticking around because of their passion. Like a bad relationship. I guess I wish the industry was better to people so they didn’t want to leave. But I get it. I’d hope as more devs move into management roles are carrying these tribulations with us and try to do better for those who succeed us.

For everyone professionally programming and working in a compiled language, how long does your product take to compile for a full clean build? (Full clean means from fresh checkout on a newly set up system to working tests)

You might be old, but are you this old?
