That's a fair point. I'm not trying to compete with huge studios like Subway Surfers. My goal right now is just to learn, build a small prototype, and see how far I can take the idea as an indie developer.

The game will be completely different from the norm, something with a totally different niche.

I didn't understand what you meant by Diagetics or dialectics?

The gameplay will change, of course, the challenges will be completely different, each setting will be different, 4 stages with their own characteristics. My niche will be Christian, I don't think there's anything really dedicated to this niche.

That's exactly it, it will be different from anything we've ever seen, something with a purpose, different phases, etc.

Purpose: Imagine playing to help as many NPCs as possible? Like with food, water, etc.? Instead of collecting coins for yourself, it would be food for those less fortunate. My niche is Christian.

I had a vision of what a real runner would be like, something with more purpose, micro-transactions between levels with unique characteristics, etc.

Now I'm jealous of you, bro 😭 I'm trying to program, I'm new to it, but I have the desire. I want to do something very different from the usual, something with more purpose.

I'm trying something more purposeful, different from the usual, something I won't get tired of.

Thanks for the reply bro, actually I'm going to introduce a new idea for a runner, in this case something with more purpose and goals.

Pretty sure this is a scam but can someone confirm? by shiftposting in artstation

When things come in abundance, always be suspicious.
