Question

Game development

What profession do I need if I want to make games, write scripts, etc. ? At the moment I am doing a project in Unity in C # before that I studied Python. I am 17 years old and have been interested in programming since the 8th grade (more than 2 years).

Answer 1

Unity has one of the lowest barriers to entry. Therefore, even a schoolboy can write scripts for Unity. And if you have been interested in programming and games for two years, then you should already be able to do a lot, that is, you should know at least 70% of Unity.
I advise you to go to the university, to which the soul simply lies , which will fill in some gaps . If the gaps (for some reason) are in programming, and at the same time you don’t know how (don’t want to) in self-education, then yes, it will be a technical specialty.
If everything is so good with programming, then pay attention to other interesting specialties. It can be anything that would be simply interesting to study or useful in the development of some game mechanics. It can be, for example, an artistic direction, psychological, legal, economic, medical, - whatever. Knowledge will be useful both when creating mechanics and for understanding the organization of the process of creating a game.
A programmer who only knows programming and can only code is not the best programmer. A good (future) programmer, when graduating from school, should have good grades not only in computer science, algebra and geometry. If the subject area (game) is on a historical topic, then history will come in handy. If there is a strategic map of the Earth, then it will be geography. If there is the mechanics of health, body parts, blood, then it will be biology. I'm not talking about physics, which, being in the game, will greatly contribute to making the game a hit. As for the university, then (in addition to general knowledge) the combination of programming and deep knowledge in another direction will make you a rather rare specialist.
At the intersection of knowledge, many interesting solutions are born. Although in fact, when viewed from the side, you will be, as it were, simplymake games, write scripts, etc.
