      I have graduated at the end of last year’s September. Recession has fucked up the jobs in my country pretty badly. I had a job for a few months, I left it, and I’ve not worked for about a year. Since staying with my parents isn’t a cultural taboo, everything is decent here, except for my mental health. Having to see my successful friends and classmates being independent fucking sucks, but since I’m not the only one stuck in this bad condition, there’s a sense of brotherhood, I’d guess?

              That’s what you can do by yourself. Since you are not alone, do all of you together have the opportunity to do something else?

                Well, I need some programmers, animators, level designers, artists, and 3d modelers on my game? Does that count?

                  It could. Making a game for free is a trope. What would be your role? Do you think that others would join your game? I would rather expect that everybody would want to have some influence and create something new.

                    Well I would be one of the writers and a game designer. Contributing designs to the overall design. I know by myself I’m doing a lot of things wrong so bouncing ideas and coding off of others would help immensely. If I had the capital I’d love to pay people but until then I don’t expect anyone to join and I don’t want anyone to join until I can pay what they deserve.

      Depends on the industry and if you have any co-ops or internships under your belt.

      It’s tough starting out for most people, but it’s way better than the kids that graduated in 2020 or 2021. I still worry about them sometimes…
