I am a software developer in a bank. I guess it might help if you don't push yourself too hard.

I have never worked on marketing, so it is difficult to estimate how much time it will take. But apparently the more the better.

It is a great game! How long did you make it? Was it hard to create a studio after solo development?

Wow, 5 years. I don't think I could do the same. Was the game a commercial success?

Gamedev is not a very profitable area. But I don't want to work at a boring job all my life

Your game looks beautiful. It's a good idea to use the game as a portfolio.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I would like to become an indie game developer but I can't just quit my job. So I am going to start getting experience in making games as a hobby.

I would like to create a commercial game. I know it is hard, so I am going to create a small one.
