Joys of Small Game Development

Since the beginning of the industrial era, people have been looking for side artisan-gigs to distract from how droll their day job is. This isn’t particularly different than woodworking, gardening, knitting and the legion of other hobbies used for this purpose.

I do not think at the early industrial revolution people looked for artisan-gigs, considering the hours, child labour, and general lack of safety.

Happy to be proved wrong, I find that period very interesting.

I suppose it’s more of a Victorian thing but it’s also primarily the domain of the white collar class.

Someone who does carpentry as their day job is probably not going to do woodshop in the garage at home even today, but they just pick other things, like grilling.
