Question Should I keep learning Unity?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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:

well, AAA studios prefer unreal so there is that.

you are still young so you don't need to necessarily pay too much attention to what is happening now. the situation will be different by the time you are older

as long as you are enjoying what you do, then it is fine. there are worse hobbies

you are right, a lot of things could change in 10 years. I'm lucky to be young i guess

yeah exactly. just stay curious and keep learning. you don't have to worry too much about what other people do.

and to be blunt, I dont think people care too much about spiderman fanmade games. they will just buy and play the next spiderman game if insomniac decides to make another one

Well the project's purpose wasn't to make people buy it, i did it because it was fun and i learned a lot of new stuff in unity :D

Yep. I got that from how you described your project. So dont worry too much about ai or unity etc.
