dude, there's no money in video game development
Let me ask you this: do you enjoy making video games? If so, continue doing what you're doing. If people are calling you a "wannabe dev," who the fuck cares? It is what you like to do and you will get better in time. I myself plan to get into game development/design once I get out of high school, and if there's one thing you need to realize before you get into it, is that there will always be people trying to put you down. Trust me, there is a difference between constructive criticism and flat-out being a dick.Do what you want to, fuck everyone else.

You ask constructive criticism from other people in the industry, just look around and you will find plenty of game developer communities ready to help you out on understanding any issues you may come by. Only rarely and selectively you should ask players, or if you can stomach then swim through the seven seas of hate and cynicism to find a few gems. (It doesn't seem that you are capable of doing that, though)

I couldn't imagine doing something else to be honest.

Only until these last few months has everything I've learned in my time of reading APIs, textbooks on AI, game engine architecture, etc... started to come together.A year ago, I could make a fairly buggy flash game with nothing impressive. Now, I'm working with networked multiplayer games over cloud servers in Unity/Unreal, procedurally generated models + terrain, custom lighting shaders, etc... in a custom game engine using DirectX and OpenGL. You just got to keep at it, because it picks up if you find something interesting.Once again: you're really letting people on this forum get to you too much, dude. Also, calling you a mediocre game dev isn't constructive criticism: the industry would be dead if devs quit every time kids on forums said "this sucks".You're right man. Games would be a thing of the past if that happened, and I remembered how I got my passion for wanting to make games 3 years ago, and I still do want to continue.We should collaborate on a project sometime, I could use your netcoding skills, I don't know netcoding.

I'm also in the process of setting up a blog with Unity and Unreal networking tutorials from scratch, which I'll link to you sometime if you'd like.

Good luck staying at a company long enough to get a paycheck that's representative of the actual amount of work you'll be doing--they WILL ask for unpaid overtime.

I'm starting to feel like I shouldn't continue making anything
