I know you are using it as an example but honestly a decent indie game has budget already measured in hundreds of thousands $ so not seeing a million $ from it could actually put you in the negatives. ![]() To the point where you would make a Reddit post and get front page just for mentioning it and showing a working prototype. ![]() I have been a part of multiple startups and some projects that fill specific niches but normally it's more of identifying a niche that people really need and are going to seek you out themselves. As in - outside of my price range to implement and yet a "guaranteed" success. The problem is that I find it extremely hard to think of such a concept in game dev world. If I was absolutely positive I am sitting on an idea that will make me rich then I would go to a bank for a loan using my house as a guarantee or talk with some of my colleagues/investors/friends on how much it would cost to bring it to fruition. (to finish : no I am not claiming I have the one million dollar idea I would just gather some thought process and maybe have a click of the "wow, it might be doable to make this or that game I was dreaming of after all" kind) How do you cope with this? what steps would you do if you had an amazing idea but didn't have the skills to bring it to the world? ![]() Multiple "tricks" to get around them code-wise that was probably just short term solutions, lack of ( or rather non-existent.) art skills so poor animations and the need to rely on the asset store, experience growing at the pace of the game making so the code was inconsistent and many more.Īs I said I would like to come back to developing something but looking at my fun but completely crippled first game made me think : whatever the idea I have and the time I put, I don't think I have the tool to finished a polished game and it completely demotivates me from starting again. Remembering my past experience I recalled little by little what was my struggles as a self taught dev and obviously. I've been developing my game two years ago and got a pretty interesting result but stopped because of big changes in my life, but I am recently more stable and was thinking of getting back to it.
