>>105867879
How many have you sold?

Is Jon a millionaire?

>>105867912
He's broke as fuck after making a programming language to make a compiler to make an engine to make a fucking puzzle game for ten years

>>105867912
He's a trust fund baby.

>>105867850 (OP)
We still do

>makes games (half-working unreleased game)
man, what a fucking loser

>>105867912
He was.
But an autist and his money are ultimately parted after a series of sperg outs.

Who will buy a website for 20k when jeets will do the same for 20$ a pop?

It will be as odin or zig
used by a handful of autists and ignored by the world

>>105867925
The dude struck gold with Braid and now does whatever the fuck he wants. Good for him.

>to make a fucking puzzle game for ten years
A 2d sokoban, mind you. This isn't a "CryEngine in the 00s" level of engine, this is a very basic engine for very simple games.

>>105868692
as a World Transformer (which is a monad btw), Jai changed the world from a place where JBlow was a successful and respected game designer to a world where JBroke is a lolcow.

Zoomers used to make billions creating shitty AI startups with no capital or technology

>>105867850 (OP)
JBlow is GenX

>>105867850 (OP)
The next grift organizing data and selling it as an mcp server.

>>105867850 (OP)
No, they didn't.

>>105867850 (OP)
i got stuck in the witness god i'm so fucking stupid

>>105867879
wordpress is probably the worst thing that ever happened to the internet. 75% of internet traffic are bots trying to find wordpress shit on every single fucking domain they find.

I respect Jon.

>>105867925
You're not a believer in sokoban and....that's okay. But you will not be spared in the purges.
I hope you're fine with pushing boxes around for the rest of your natural days.

>>105874984
play talos principle, it's better.

>>105867879
>sell it for 20k
KEEK this is like when that one millionaire gave advice for kids on how to become rich

>do chores for ur parents
>get 500$ allowance a week
>invest in real estate

>>105867912
he would be if he didn't insist on wasting all his money on building shit from scratch

the witness could have been made in unity in 3 months, imagine if he made all his games & software with existing tooling & frameworks.

alphoomers used to make hundreds of millions on cloned 1v1 fortnite maps

>>105878970
This. The man is a great progammer for sure, but he SUCKS as a business lead (which is what he chose to become). He seems to be unable to differentiate between hobby projects and professional ones.

>>105867912
didn't he say his company was burning some odd amount of millions a year to make The Witness? He also said he spent $180,000 on developing Braid.

>>105878266
One must imagine anon happy.

>>105878543
this. would recommend the original.

It's painful cause I missed the boat. So many of these SaaS companies started out as some guy in X industry passively interested in tech in the 90's/00's who just whipped together a little toy app to make life a bit easier for his business and then it ended up ballooning into a million or billion dollar company.

Way too saturated to be that easy now.

>>105867850 (OP)

no they did not
moved millions but at own cost
remote communication and calling credits is not making millions
