I feel you, man! This is so, so much like what happened to me. Not game design in my case, more "sciency stuff". But I was pressured into university long before my brain was emotionally mature enough to make a proper use of the whole situation. And in the end, it all became a clusterfk of knowledge as esoteric as useless. Whereas, if I had been given an option to take some time and make a really mature decision, things would have been different. Taken most likely in a different, much more practical and focused direction. Well, too late, too late...

@Pomorek Commiserations in being in a similar situation to me, I was pressured to do science in college(for non UK folk, a UK collage is NOT the same as a university, it teaches 1 or 2 levels below, GCSE and A level and some other stand alone things) which is part of the reason I flailed about so much in University (I went in to Illustration first, then bounced over to game design, should have stayed in illustration, ahh well.)

I can relate a bit. I was also pressured into university early, and I had a pretty rocky start there. I lost motivation and considered dropping out, but fortunately I simply decided to pause my studies instead and spend a bit of time figuring myself out.
It did a lot of good to me! After the pause, I knew better what I wanted, and organized my studies in a manner that was more beneficial for me. I was definitely far more efficient and motivated as a result!
Ultimately I'm very much satisfied with the field I picked, and with my studies in general, though my early unprepared start did lead to a lot of missed opportunities.

I currently do work for Cloudburst Media. They're the guys behind the adult games Furry Beach Club, Hentai Diaries, and Galactic Monster Quest. Once in a while I'll write-up a character for them.

I also wrote some stuff for someone's game that's currently in alpha but as far as I know it hasn't been publicly released.

I don't know if I'd ever want to write for a triple-A developer though. I hear the staff aren't treated well, especially the writers. I mean, look at what just happened with the Last of Us 2.

So you would write an Obama x Trump fanfiction if someone paid you?

In like as much detail as possible and write lines like

"I'm gonna show you why they call me the Donald~" lol

No hesitation I totally would.

My dream is to one day have someone commission me to recreate the Michael Phelps x George Bush fanfiction I caught a fleeting glimpse of once.

All I remember is the details of how the water sparkled on Phelp's body and Bush inviting him back to the lockerroom for some "presidential treatment".

I'd totally be up for a games jam some time, although I'd need to scrape the rust off my game design skills XD It has been a very long time.

Only games jams I ever did were like, 1 to 3 day long games jams at uni and they were brutal along side actually working on stuff for the course.

MMM no polycount troubles!! I am excited. Scenery was ridiculous. I'm not sure my screens did it justice, sounded so good though. I really loved the bugs and bats and how cleverly they interacted with things, and the character interaction with the scenery, aaahhh a nightmare turned into a dreeaam.
I think we're getting into strange territory where the worlds in a game, are actually more high def than we actually see in reality, cause few of us have perfect eyeballs and depth of field isn't sorted out by your own eyes. XD So, to me, it looked quite weird, my worlds been pretty blurry since I was 16 and that was hurting my tiny mind a bit, something like getting my first glasses and I realised, yep, the trees do actually have leaves from a distance.
