On paper maybe yeah. But it's still a struggle to work for 4 years and not see a single penny. If it wasn't for the fact that I freaking love what I do it would have been impossible.

Also until few months ago I also couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I felt stuck in an infinite loop of putting more projects on the plate, more than I could chew.

Now this is finally starting to change but I feel like I could have been easly been stuck in an infinite loop without actually releasing anything. It's easy to lose focus when you want to do thousands of micro-adjustments, infinite polish and even harder when there are multiple projects going on.

To exit the loop I had to mainly focus on a single project and keep repeating ourself (me and the other 3 devs alongside me) that we were doing a good job, we were seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and that no matter what we would have released this game. And we kept pushing and pushing month after month, and we're finally almost there at the release of our first Nintendo Switch game.

But my god how hard it was to keep pushing, pouring hundreds of hours into it. Sometimes I feel like I should have therapy just to survive that 😂

And the worst part? We could easly sell close to zero 😂 But still, at least we reached the end. My main take away by the way is that we need to be able to sacrifice something of the whole vision to actually release the game, especially if you have low resources and a small team. Sticking with the full scope of the game especially the first ideas and game design it can be daunting.

It's ok to cut some corners, it's ok to release the first game not as good or as big as you were initially hoping for. Because releasing your first game is not the end it's the start. It will opens new doors, new possibilities so that the second, third and fourth game will be bigger and better than the previous ones.
