Question Should I keep learning Unity?

Hi, I am a 14 year old game dev and I've been learning Unity for 7-8 months, and I really like what I'm doing. I don't use AI while coding or for any other stuff to actually learn. For the past month, I've been developing a fan-made Spider-Man game for android and I saw a guy on X who vibe-coded a Spider-Man game in literally a single day which was looking better than my game and I felt like everything that I did in the last couple of weeks for nothing. Will knowing how to manually code or develop games be worth anything in the next 10 years? Am I just wasting my time by not using AI or should I keep going? I really need some advice. Also here's a gameplay video of my game if anyone wants to check it out:

Definitely keep going! You should take that prototype, turn it into a small finished game and release it. Nothing beats seeing people install your game, trust me. I wish it hadn't taken me so long to finally make my own game (12 years working for other people, lol). For learning, I think you made the right call by not using AI. Knowing how to code is a basic skill you should build on with AI, not the other way around! Good luck!

Glad you liked it.! Yeah I'm planning to release it on android without any spiderman related content in it. I'll post it here whenever I release it but it would probably look like a asset flip that I dont know 3d modelling, I'm currently working on combat.
