Web development + game development?

Question

Career in IT

I am a beginner front-end developer and I had this question: Is it normal that in the future I want to be both a front-end developer and a game developer / software developer? I am very attracted to web development and game development/software development and in the future I would like to implement this idea.
However, I don't know how much the company will like it. Perhaps I will do some things for fun, and some seriously (I want to seriously do both web development and game / software development), but we will find out about this in the future.
So the question is: Will I work in some company as a web developer and game / software developer.

PS I know that the question is rather strange, but it is in programming that I have a great desire to learn everything, I will be glad for any answer

Answer 1

but it is in programming that I have a great desire to learn everything

Well, then you won't know.
Learn game programming and read about the web at the same time, then you will succeed.
You won’t be able to work at the same time, because no manager will assign two different areas to one employee.

Answer 2

Only if these are some kind of browser games) in other cases, these directions intersect approximately in no way. That is, the market for such vacancies is now close to zero.

Answer 3

90% of modern games for mobile phones work with a backend, on which the actual logic spins. And there are a lot of vacancies. So in gamedev, backend is needed.

Answer 4

>Will I work for a company as both a web developer and a game/software developer.
Two answers can be given here.
1. If it is a web developer (frontend in JavaScript, HTML, CSS), then it is unlikely, but there are chances. Now "classic" browser games are not as popular as they used to be. Therefore, most offices do not make them. But there are still, for example, games for social media. networks.
All in all, anything is possible. For example, at Wargaming I had to switch from C++ to fullstack JavaScript + Python and do just browser-based clan wars.
2. If you are interested not so much in the frontend in JavaScript, but in the simple implementation of client applications on anything, then there are a lot of options for a device in game dev. If there is also knowledge of the backend, then they will tear it off with their hands.

Answer 5

Web development + game development?

Easily. Welcome to the world of browser games.

Is it normal that in the future I want to be

It's not just okay, it's great when you know who you want to be.

I am very attracted to web development and game development/software development and in the future I would like to implement this idea.

Well, start making your own games.
Whichever language you choose, it will take practice. And making your own game is both pleasant and a good development experience.
Personally, I started the transition from an abstract "webmaster" to pure php-programmers just from the development of my browser-based MMORPG.
