By not following the current trends? Look at what's popular now and just copy that. You could even be more successful if you copy something popular and refine it further like what REPO did for Lethal Company.

Im pretty sure the girl who made Omori is a shotacon but her game got pretty popular.
Im also sure most furries dont actually care too much about an artist drawing cub and its pretty much a coin flip whether people end up caring at all or trying to cancel you based on cub allegations.

most indie games are overpriced
$10 should be the complete max price

You gotta have deep connections to get your game out to your viewer's eyes.

Serves him right for linking his porn persona to his real life persona. Especially if he's not making a gooner game. What was he thinking?

The reality is that there is no reliable way to tell which indie games will succeed or fail before release. You can always look after the fact and go
>"well, [game a] succeeded because it did [thing x], [thing y], and [thing z]"
But you can almost always find other games that also did [thing x], [thing y], and [thing z] but did not succeed for one reason or another.
It's more luck than people are prepared to admit and unfortunately, people are conditioned to call this a "cope" because they're not comfortable with the idea that [thing they've never heard of] could possibly be as good as [thing they have heard of] and grasp at anything that helps to make [game a]'s success and [game b]'s failure seem more rational, more tangible, easier to explain away with logic.

most indie games dont even surpass the quality of freeware games from the 2000's yet dare to ask money for them.

It's pretty easy to tell which games are going to be succeeding before release. What isn't easy is telling which indie games that aren't good will succeed before release.
The thing is, you can't just make a 5/10 indie game and expect it to be successful. It might be successful because people found something in it that really captured their imagination, but it might equally likely be a total failure because there's an infinite number of 5/10 games out there to play.

If it were easy, then everybody would be releasing successful indie games.
