that’s rough, friend. sometimes, the idea of something can get so big that once you get to it, you feel let down. but that feeling might fade as your expectations come back down to earth.

i’d honestly say, try and stick with it at least until you see the culmination of your work so far. hopefully that means seeing it in a finished project that people can play. if the work itself isn’t proving to be satisfying to you, maybe the end result can be motivation - working on it is the hard part, but knowing what it’ll feel like to see something YOU made in a game might make the difference.

if that doesn’t work, don’t guilt yourself. shift focus and find a career that’ll give you satisfaction. you shot for your goals, and that’s admirable. sometimes what we think we want isn’t what it seems. but you only get one life and you deserve to feel fulfilled in what you do with it.

plus, you’ll always have the credentials that got you this job, which hopefully means they can get you another if you change your mind again, assuming you leave this job amicably.
