       | searches like "level design in Unity" have ~ a couple hundred
       | searches per month. The basic shape of the market is hordes of
       | people clamoring to "become" a game dev, shady schools selling
       | introductory courses for tens of thousands of dollars, and very
       | few people doing actual work.
