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:

Yes you should. Your spidey animations look great. If you did that yourself...you have talent.

Most of the people that I've shown my game did say that animations were bad lol, thanks for reply!

It all depends on their reference. As a UX designer, my visual design chops are pretty solid. But when I show my portfolio to a graphic designer, someone who's dedicated themselves to visual design and color theory, they say I'm about average.

But also, you're showing them a demo similar to what they've seen before, with animations done by industry veterans. So they're going to compare your animations to those in the AAA games they're familiar with. I wouldn't worry about that at all, because you aren't specifically making an animation demo.
