While I largely endorse anyone that can take a side passion project and turn it into their primary career, I always have this amusing mental image of, when tendering the resignation and doing the exit interview, if asked where they were going/plans for the future as part of why they were leaving, how many give vague answers vs how many just flat up say:

Gonna make some Ren'py Porn Games! :D

And then watch their reaction be: o_O

Silly Americans...wtf is an exit interview (I do know) and wtf is it even needed? rofl...

*shakes head*
I don't know about "exit interview" but when you give your resignation letter to your boss, he can ask you what you'll do next. Same with your soon-to-be ex-coworkers if you have good relationship with them

An exit interview may be more of a white collar / professional vocation type, but yeah, it's when your manager and/or HR rep ask why you're leaving, if there were any issues they arent aware of, etc.

Obviously, only relevent if you're leaving on good terms and would qualify for re-hire.

If you're walking out the door saying FUCK THIS PLACE! :mad:, they generally skip it.

in most cases when devs turn avn-s developing into their "full time job" that doesnt end well...at least not for their supporters. fingers crossed (it doesnt turn that way) for cheeeky and WTHI.
Agreed, having to give up your IRL work for a game unless you are rolling in cash is not gonna end well, better to have slower updates than give everything up for the game.

Well... there's obviously an inherent amount of risk in giving up a salary job to become self employed, but I think that the freedom of being one's own boss is worth a try.

I've never had the proper skills to do it myself, and this is one of the biggest regrets of my life.

I think Cheeky has the needed skills, and what WTHI is right now proves it.
(And I think he made his financial calculations before taking this step)

So, all the best!

mine was simple, I realized if I were to spend the rest of my life wearing a tie and dealing with bureaucrats i'd end up hanging myself with it. my boss was cool, his reaction was "take me with you!"
