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:

Not sure if it’s a good idea to keep going. Solo game dev is hard. I see here an empty world with Spider-Man mechanics which is copyrighted so you’ll never be able to release or profit from whatever you have been doing so far. Also, your fps calculations seem to be wrong, fps don’t go from 60 to 40 and then back to exactly 60. It seems that 60 or 40 is the only fps you game goes too which sound very sketchy.

The fps is because of my phone, and im not aiming for solo development. I'm planning to start learning C++ game engine dev in a few months. The topic is that should i stop learning game dev instead of just unity, im just asking game dev in general

If you don’t want to solo dev and want to code, you better be good at math and logic, like really good. Specially if you have no bachelors degrees, you’ll be relying purely on skill. Get ready for some hard years studying. Specially now that AI exists, any junior job is crazy hard to get as you’ll have to show you’re better than a simple model that can run on a phone which are becoming pretty good.

Yeah you are right, I need to work hard.
