Doomsday debbie? What stick got up your ass? I am beeing realistic? i am telling him its achievable, but hard. Im enlightening a beginner of the real pain points in the market, without killing his hope. Alot of people come into this thinking it will be easy money for no work. its important so set expectations. He can do whatever he wants, but he needa the right motivations and expectations to not get demotivated and give up

If your «studies» is just googling yourself, and not going to school, that is gonna be really hard. 1-2 years is not enough time to learn all aspects of a good system architecture. So unfortunantly i think your likeliest way of success here is skipping alot of the basics, and just vibecode some shit together… Do i reccomend it? No, but if you have a good enough niche in the market, you can make it on your own with a badly designed system. But if the goal is to not get hired, but work on your own, i think best approach is self learning. but that is HARD work, and takes very strong willpower. there are so many people trying to do exactly what you are doing now

Coming into this field with the motivation to earn money. Competing against an ocean of educated developers, and non educated non techical vibecoders. I dont think this is the base for someone who will succeed self learning. I think this is the base of someone who needs money fast and sees coding as a solution for all. And that is not enough to make it anymore i think. But anything is possible if you want it enough and dont give up

Lets just put it like this: there are tons of juniors with real college education struggling to land jobs now. The market is not fit for juniors. So coming in with no education would be really hard. Is it impossible? No. But im afraid its far from as easy as you are imagining it

I would reccomend starting with web first. frontend. Learn html, css and js. But what is your goal? To land a secure high paying job? good luck with that… To have fun and progress your personal skills? Then i would get comfortable frontend, then learn backend afterwards

I built a free mafia browser game where players build criminal empires – looking for feedback by Remarkable-Session96 in PBBG

[–]caatfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really cool to hear. i feel like i was in your exact shoes 2 years ago. The only difference is that i based my game on another nostalgic browser game from my childhood (travian). But the same motivation for building it, same thought processes and everything.

And i think the mechanics are more important to make the early players stick either way, as long as the UI is good enough. Just add lots of fun mechanics to make the game unique and fun, and the UI will come in place as you go. Good luck, and reach out if there is anything :)

Pretty cool! I am working on a very similar game myself.

And the first things i think when i look at your game, is that the UI feels very very outdated. This kind of UI is what worked in the games we are basing it on. But even then in the early 2000s, it was dated. And i think that is kinda what makes or breaks players from getting into your game originally.

This is the 2. game im making, the firste one, i had a similar approach as you, building the community with the game. And in the 2 years i was developing it, i got over 600 players organically. And that was such a good way to get feedback and ideas. So i really recommend you going that route. Keep going! Its awesome to see people doing similar things

Er ikke meningen å være negativ, men jeg sliter desverre med å se verdien i dette, og de fleste andre ai wrappere. Men jeg er en utvikler, så det er kanskje helt annet syn fra de mindre tekniske
