Full time indie game developer here. I've also done a myriad of other development in the past.

I always say the difference between software development (app, website, ect) and game development is that with software you have a predefined problem and your trying to solve it. With game development you are creating the problem and you are trying to solve it.

In my opinion software development can arguably be more straightforward as a result because you know that what you are building is meant to relieve some pain point.

I love game development but it can be very tricky to sell people on entertainment.
