There are thousands of unique indie game on Steam under 5000 reviews that are almost immediately drowned by easily churned out asset flip or porn slop
Do not make video games if you can't create a following around your content, even if you are just an artist creating some sort of unique designs or artstyles.

Don't care. I make games for myself, other people liking them is a bonus. If I were the only one left on the planet I'd still develop games.

Yeah, at this point, you should only be in indie game development for the sake of passion. It should be rewarding and fun by itself just to do a game, because it's entirely possible you make a masterpiece and no one cares. The competition is too fierce and time is limited.

Webm related. It's crazy to me that this has less than 500 reviews. If this came out in 2014, everyone would know about it.

If you don't truly enjoy the process of making games in and of itself it's fucking over. The odds of shipping a commercially successful game are so astronomically slim. I had finally to acknowledge that I have zero genuine interest in making games or creativity anymore and move on. There are other ways one could spend his time.

I'm just curious about what your games look like.
