I've been wanting to enter the game space for some time now. Is this what you do full-time? If so, how did you transition from web dev to game dev?

I got up early every day and got in an hour or two before my proper full-time backend Python programming job begun. That and working on The Cat Machine on Saturdays got it finished within a year, and then after it came out I could go full-time. It's hard to just make the switch from 'real' (normal?) job to small business game programming without already having a game that's done okay released, so that's what worked for me.

How have you found the switch technically? What frameworks are you using?
