FUCK
how do you get good at writing
Your writing is probably still pretty bad too. Damn that sucks bro
Start now faggot
[john carmack's quote about video games, story and porn]
If you spent so much time writing instead of doing something else I assume it's because you enjoy writing.
That's good
are you any good at writing, user? because if you can't even do that properly then you're just an ideas guy
>want to make an yume nikki fangame
>realize i can't draw
>only picked up writing because it has the lowest barrier of entry compared to other artistic pursuits
i hate myself
so write a book nigger
oh what's that? it didn't sell
probably cause you're shit at writing
>how do you get good at writing
By writing and reading.
That is really "all" it takes. Thousands of hours of practice. Bit of talent also helps.

tbqhh the best indie game coders are people who aren't actually good at coding, because they use gamemaker or unity instead of enginedeving, and they get shit done instead of fucking around
Yeah, because 50 Shades of Rape AKA former fan fiction stories of Twilight is the pinnacle of literature
You still have to be good at C# to use Unity.
Some people were born with bad timing. I remember the early 2000s when even official Blizzard wallpapers were thrown together so lazily in photoshop that it looked no better than anything I did. By the time I was 18 professionals actually got good enough with photoshop but years prior I could've done most of the shit professionals got paid for.
Why did you think that video game plot needed professional writers?
what aboue UE4? is it better than unity or it doesnt matter?
no, you don't. i brogram for a living and my fat fuck roommate gets more done than me in unity just by copying shit from stack overflow and mashing it together. he writes code that would get me fired, but gets five times more done, and nobody's ever going to look at his code again.
not making a game because you're worrying about which engine to use is worse than both of them
>all your interests have little to no financial viability
I wish I was interested in coding so new material would be interesting to learn about and not be constantly stressed out over the fact I'll probably end up dropping/kicked out of uni.
If you're actually decent at writing, you can take up commissions for fetish fanfics.
But his self-worth will be ruined forever.
Do video game analysis writing on youtube and patreon that.
