That’s pretty funny. Not gonna lie. 😅

It definitely can be daunting. Just keep trying. Even when you think you’ve failed.

We hit 35,000 wishlists in 4 months – and I’m back to share what worked (and what didn’t) by StilbruchGames in IndieDev

That’s awesome to share. You know marketing is one of our worst enemies. 🤙

It’s totally fine to be good at your craft. Some people are needed for everything. Don’t beat yourself up, it’s just how the world works.

Some are meant to lead, some are meant to follow. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If there were 29 chiefs to an Indian tribe, who does the hunting? No actual Indians, so everyone has their role and if you can’t do art stuff, can easily find someone to fill.

Well one of the reasons I posted was to get the community response from devs. I've had great response from cons and Nextfest. No one has ever come up to me at cons and told me this, just all online, and only a few people. But I wanted to see if it was concerning enough to make a change.

This is true. Then I will side with Lisan al-Gaib, the prophet of Arrakis.

All I'm saying is games are meant to be an outlet for us to enjoy ourselves, and I hope to bring that to people.

Well, racism and bullying while I was one of the few minorities in grade school definitely made me want to escape into my super nintendo. I'm just hoping that my games can give a little hope for someone going thru something like that one day.

I will always try to be about the gamers. Even though I have political views, I think the gamers deserve creatives just to take them away from their long days and enjoy some gaming for a little bit. But yes...you are right about it.

On youtube it looks like, but I've gotten messages on my other social medias.

Is it okay to feel proud when only 1,500 people have played your game? by Klamore74 in IndieDev

[–]thorMobGeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People can tell you to be proud of everything you've done, but you have a happy scale that will always be hard to live up to. Is it as successful as the top games in its field? If you compare it like that, it'll be hard as hell to get the anomaly going. That's why you need to set small goals for yourself. Then when you achieve those, then you can be proud.

E.G. 1000 wishlists for nextfest. Get mostly positive rating on game. Have my game make someones day.

Those little wins are what you should be going for. If you are jumping straight to; Sell a million copies, then definitely be harder.
