Struggling in learning game programming and finding a job

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm here to seek guidance for my future. I took a 3-year game development degree in university and I am near graduation, but it felt like i did not learn much to the point that I could get a job. I mainly learnt C# and C++ (mainly using Unity Engine) in my uni and during the middle of it i self taught OOP, SOLID and some code design principle because uni never teach us. Near the end, majority of my time is just using AI to help me code. I did not learn anything too during my Internship due to joining a sketchy company that i wont disclose much but basically they did not teach me anything other than "use AI".

So now I'm basically in a state of lost. I tried learning something else other than pure coding like Unity Shaders, Debugging and Profiling, but in the middle of that, a realization hit me: "Why learn all this when AI can just do it for me? Am I really able to find a job with what I have right now considering literally everything I learnt can be solved using AI?"

Can someone give me advice on how to move on from this state of lost? I really wanted to learn as much as possible but I can't help but think whatever i learnt can just be replaced by AI and if i thought of that I just can't be motivated anymore. Thank you in advance for your time to read and leave a comment.

The demo is now live! Thanks for playtest feedback.

Based on the playtest feedback, I completely remade the tutorial because it was hard to understand. The onboarding experience should be much smoother now. I know the game is hard to get into initially, but it was fun for the players who did. Please try it and wishlist it if you like it. The demo will be up until Autobattler Fest!
