This is all true, which is why it's important as an indie game dev to try to not have a goal of making money.

Make a game for yourself. And for fun. And pride. And maybe if it helps you get laid.

Dan Johnson @coil.bsky.social · 7d

It's easier than ever to make a game, too, but it's never been harder to get paid for it.

And that means you're mostly going to get no-budget, short-cycle, amateur-skill games from the narrow demographic band that can afford to make them in their free time.

IDEK about movies. Tiktok I guess?

Jessica Ellis @baddestmamajama.bsky.social · 7d

And I don’t want to hear “it’s easier than ever! Get your friends! Use an iPhone”

No.

Yes it is easier in a technical sense. But the pipeline to funding? Getting the movie seen? Having it move your career forward? Not to mention the spare time and money to survive?

None of that is easier.

15 days until our Kickstarter launches for Fractured Library, and we're only 8 Kickstarter followers away from me releasing the Lee pudding infomercial.
Really no relation whatsoever to the game, but IYKYK.

You need a rest, sit with Hazel and Kayak for a moment.
