I didnt read most of the last part of this thread, but I also think about when you first start making games.

anybody start with game maker? i started at v 3.2 and played around with it, and the first day I made a small stick figure game, that not only worked, but was a distributable exe file, I mean, I must rock.

now I'm making 3d models, baking 3d textures, thinking about how I'm going to implement pathfinding, and searching for libraries, and to be honest, its not as fun as it used to be.


I know all this is really not that related to the original post but a similar concept.
