a bit of a late post today but i’ve been exceedingly busy working on some important stuff on the side and that’s taken up most of my time. things are going pretty good currently and are generally productive.

Going well. I’ve been a Godot game engineer for 5 years and an unreal game engineer for 10. So my worth kind of just skyrocketed this week. Lots of questions about Godot vs unreal. I’ve been reading up on game design and project management to help my career trajectory.
I hope one day to start my own small game studio and with each passing year it’s felt both closer and more unreachable. This last week I’m starting to see why it’s felt that way and where I can better put my efforts.
Money is always hard. I have a good job but expenses and being the sole earner for a family of 4 is difficult.
I agree. I’m in your position. With my wife working we would make about $100 more a year than the cost of childcare so we figured it’s probably worth it for her to stay home. If you think about it, divide your pay by 2, and that’s about what you and your spouse (I assume) make together to support everyone. One good job becomes about as good as 2 meh jobs.
I often feel I am underwater.
Yeah that’s exactly it. It only makes sense for my partner to work if she feels like it benefits her.
I really looking forward to her having a job. We should be able to put most of her pay into retirement for her, and the rest into fun things with the kids, like camping.
Very excited.
I assume it skyrocketed because of Unity pricing? Good for you, in any case! Hopefully it’ll turn into more income to support your family.
