Why You Don't FEEL Like a REAL Game Developer

Why is it that working on a game isn't enough to make you feel like a real game developer? Even after years of learning how to code, how to use game engines, how to make game art, and studying what goes into making a great indie game, there's still that nagging feeling that we're not REAL developers. The answer isn't that simple. There are several things that might be getting in the way, but we've narrowed it down to 3 primary reasons that seem to be pretty universal. If you can relate to this feeling, or are working on a game (or hope to one day) and feel out of your depth, you're not alone. Making games is not for the lighthearted, but if you're looking to really finish one and maybe even sell it commercially, you're in the right place!
