I want to start my own gaming company as a hobby. I have multiple GDDs done. That being said, I'm a lousy programmer(Only 2+ years in Java), and anyone can write scripts/stories.

I have two years left of university and I do not have a major yet. So while I put in hours towards this hobby, what major would help me best while still giving me a fallback plan? BS of business in economics, finance, management, accounting, maybe entrepreneurship itself?

if it really is 'just a hobby' invest in a good engine and just make simple games.

If it's a hobby, then you shouldn't need a 'fallback plan,' that would be your main plan.
>>
If you're good at art/cg we can team up maybe?

I'm a professional C++ programmer and /jp/er living in Japan.

Okay, a less roundabout and more honest question. I want to work with money and I prefer startups because I lack the social skills or drive to compete with others in the business world. Accounting or finance seem the way to go if it really comes down to me having to learn but idk because I spent the first two years of college being a tech person and not a business man. I hate programming, help me choose please.

>i prefer startups
>cuz i dont like competing with others in business

you do see the irony here yeah?

sounds to me like you should actually try making any game at all before you decide that this is your plan

I have a completed game in RPGmaker MV, 2 in Unity, and 1 in java.

You're right. I'm being dumb. Sorry. I'll be taking my leave now so I don't waste more of your time. Sorry you had to read this cringy stuff.
