Game Engines become more accessible with each iteration and there are a lot of premade assets (there are even decent free ones). So I think that making a game becomes easier.

That has happened to me too. Sometimes I wake up in a hangover with my face on the keyboard covered with a bit of vomit, look at the monitor and think to myself "Really, I played THIS? It looked so much more interesting last night after a few beers...".

Making a game is really some time consuming business (I made two very simply browser games years ago and felt it was a lot of work...).

But is like building your own car.
Enjoy driving one and enjoy building one are two different things.
Still, the perception remainns of GOG be a bit static in new contents.

So if your going to make a good game, then it still takes a lot of effort, especially to start with. Decision one, are you an "artist"-dev or a "programmer"-dev? This would be the basis of everything else going forward, what engine to take (no point being an artist and getting a programming heavy engine). Next big decision is to make plans, otherwise you will end up trying this thing out, that engine out, that program out and never get anything done. From there on its months (at least) of building, aquiring assests, iterating through core mechanics, controllers, designing GUI's etc.

When I used to spend all day drunk off my ass I would try to play NFS and could never finish a single race, so I would then try playing Carmageddon and end up obliterating the all time high score.
Ever try playing the original NES drunk? Enough alcohol makes ExiteBike looks complex.

Getting wasted and playing Mario Kart was always good, taking that hundreth off your time on Ghost Castle (the shortcut and sliding round the corners). Still got the RSI from those days.

I mentioned playing NFS and then switched topic to playing the NES.

Yeah but it depends on what's currently on your mind. That's why I've been revisiting some gems from the older days, gems which I already have. No regrets so far and the need for (a lot) more is, well, meh ;)
