The day I made my steam page public I fully expected to get 8 wishlists and realize I fucked up everything

My game now sits at 1500+ wishlists

>>decompiles your godot game and resells it with a different name

>>529497141
>the looks she gives you after you ask to be unlocked after a month caged

>>529448147
I hope you'll include a sandbox mode where you can just place stuff to smash it

I won't make a game in Godot because Mr. Boss spent all his time babysitting me to show me how to make an assetflip in Unreal instead of teaching me Godot, so I simply can't.
I must always follow best coding practices even though they are actually terrible.
I asked for a pay raise again and they offered to buy pizza if we did unpaid overtime again instead

>>529497257
>you better work on that game

I plan to first write the complete lore for the game, then I will write the script with all the cut scenes and the levels.
Only after that i am actually going to start developing the game, pre production must be completed at 100% before the start of development; what do you think about this plan?

>>529497141

>>529497587
Yeah, Eric is also a world-class composer, what of it?

>>529496814
What game? And congrats that's awesome.

Stat screen is Kinda working, UI still looks like dogshit but meh, still need to add race traits so i'm going to be cribbing from fallouts traits stuff, i really don't like doing UI stuff, but actually clobbering something together feels nice

do we still have the progress bot?

>>529498102
I'll turn it into a billboard after demo day, okay? Don't be mean to me.

>>529499052
Preach

Is outer wilds really a time loop game?
let me explain.

Time limits existed well before of that. Time limit is equivalent to a death in a permadeath game. it's simply a rule that forces you to restart.

Time loop means you retain the information of your past life of the time reversed. But it's the exact same way in permadeath games or time limit games. you, the player, get better through multiple attempts and retaining information. So the time loop means nothing, except for the fancy animation that puts you back at the starting point and pretends your in-universe character is in on the secret, along with you, the player. it bears no other effect other than the launch code.
Can one tiny piece of forced-rpg element make the difference? Nah. All games might as well be time loops.

Trying to figure out the right scale and size for everything
>>529499218
Oh yeah I forgot about this, feels like years

>>529499175
>reverse no true scotsman
interesting self own

Added the solar sail asset to the game, a few bug correction too

>>529499243
This is only going to be funny if you repost it exactly 22 minutes from now.

>>529499243
Unfortunately the only way to experience true time loop is a lobotomize run. You simply lobotomize yourself a little bit every time you hit the loop. It was in the manual, you should read them.

>>529496720 (OP)
nobody ever drew me fanart...

>>529499342
What's your Game?

>>529499314
Your background looking better than literally every other single thing in your game is too clashy and ultimately gonna be your downfall. Everything looks like a cheap flash game from the early 2000s.

>>529499342
That's probably a good thing.

>>529499342
only the worst games get fanart. It's called a consolation prize. these fags love to talk about how there's no participation throphies in game development but this place pretty much runs on that whole model

following a blender animation course from grant abbitt and he's so much better than the french alive course guy, people recommend the french guy everywhere but he's a fucking horrible teacher his accent and voice makes it impossible to focus and not fall asleep and he doesn't explain things well

Are there any good courses for more advanced animation i can follow after i finish this one?

>>529498113
No we FUCK skeletons in here, quick grab one!

>>529499719
This.

>>529499752
Idk man I just look at tutorials when I can't figure something out myself and I know what to look for.

>>529499752
Just watch some of those "how to make minecraft animation" tutorials.

>>529498021
I thought this was going to be a retarded meme, of pure coincidences that sound vaguely similar, but he really outright stole the best parts of the songs lmao.

>>529499342
could be worse, someone drew fanart but it was of the NPC and not my main character
like bruh

>>529500528
make you're MC more appealing

>>529500528
lol that happens to me all the time. Usually means they didn't play the game

>>529500528

The Japanese were okay with it because its a standard practice in Japanese game studios

fuck it obs is being annoying and the thing i usually use to get webms won't save the file, here's a screen shot, easy and hardcore mode only allow for one roll of stats (4d6 drop lowest and 3d6 respectively) while normal and pussy let you swap between rolled stats, that, switching between portraits, and name entry all currently work

I mean he literally didn't do shit. Ghosts N Goblins was released before Mario and had tonnes of different stuff, bosses, level design.

Pac Land came out even before and had already invented most of these tropes.

HOLY FUCK JUST LOOK AT THIS SHIT:

>>529500707
Good inspo actually. If the Japanese (which I venerate) do it, I too shall follow their example.

>>529502285
I'm thinking of starting one.

>>529502251
it's some mentally ill retard on the level of cris ritualposting due to somy psychosis or OCD obsession. it's too off-topic and too regular and too recognizable to be accidental.

>>529502285
>another anon working on a doomed indie genre
*rubs hands manically*

I can do it, it's everyone else who can't and won't put the effort in to match me.

Anyone have any info on how bad/good it is to release in the immediate period before/after a steam sale?

>>529502251
he likes the attention, ignore him and he will fade away like every retard before him

>>529502528
if your game is new, it won't be on sale and people who want to play your game won't expect it to be for awhile
steam sales are so frequent that the before/after isn't a big deal, but I would guess prefer before a sale, since after a sale they'll be playing the games they bought

>>529503729
This game is multiplayer, peer-to-peer, similar to Webfishing, and was also made in Godot. Why didn't it have the same IP leak hacking issues? The game files can be just as easily decompiled.

no country for old devs

>>529498662
What game is this?

I think I found the objectively most miserable amount of wishlists to have using analysis and scientific studies.
It's 3000 to 5000. Not bad enough you can just release it and not care, but not good enough you're guaranteed success.
It's like following a rainbow to a pot of ... POOP.

>>529505003
even 30k is not enough sometimes...

>>529428130
>>529428225
>>529428291
yes, sardines are good. you have to not get the cheap 50c can ones, those are trash and have no fat i.e. are not even healthy, if you get the $1.50 cans of sardines those are good and you put them into noodle soups so basically you get the noodles packet, in a bowl with water microwave it until soft, strain the water mix in the flavour packets if it has dired vegetables ya dun goofed choose a better noodles next time but chuck em in anyway, then you can put some hot sauce, ketchup, mustard sauce, mayo, fried egg, and then the strained can of sardines (always get sardines in spring water, never oil, they put the drier sardines in the oil and those are lower quality) and you mix it around and it it, its great. hot kimchi noodles are best with the sardines. I add the sardines cold but you could also re-microwave it for 30sec after adding the sardines to it if you want.

>>529505003
the amount doesn't matter, it's momentum

Start boofing coffee. It changed my life.

That was scary aggy daggy. Was laying in bed when suddenly breathing in a little too deep would make the mid and or lower left side of my lung or chest area hurt. I'd have to stop early to prevent a worsening pain. I have had this happen before and iirc I once had it for an hour where I couldn't get a deep breath in. Also felt a lot like that one time when I had pneumonia albeit I'm not sure the diagnosis was accurate. Well anyways I accidentally breathed into too deep and felt a popping sensation and suddenly the pain went away. Took a really deep breathe just now and felt something very slight. Just sharing, this stuff is scary and nerve wracking.

>>529506520
Maybe you should see a medical doctor.

>>529506520
Supposedly it can happen if your stressed or anxious. The work on my game has been stressing me out and I usually avoid working on it. Idk if that's the cause but I generally do feel stressed and anxious. Any other anons get stressed or anxious from gamedev? It's usually hard stuff that does it to me. Also if I'm being lazy about working on my game, it stresses me out since I'm not making progress towards finishing it all while time is moving forward.

>>529506520
this once happened to me while taking a shower and i almost blacked out lol, was probably the closest ive been to dying

If you're white, you should let your audience know since they'll be more likely to support you. Whites just get away with more shit that's why a majority of them are grifters. Asiandevs on the other hand don't have this luxury and have to make up for it with actual hard work.

>>529508898
I'm going to tell you this here because I've scoured the entire internet and you don't have any kind of social media presence besides the steam community page. I know you're working on Interrogator 2. I know that you released Interrogator without telling us and I know that it's now delisted from Steam because you didn't get enough data. I hope you know what you're doing, and you're really going to have to think about presentation and marketing this time around if you don't want the same thing to happen again

>>529509779

There doesn't exist a single worthwhile game made by someone with that kind of CV. Especially not by a solodev. The mental ailments that lead someone down that part in life also prevent them from creating something of worth (or anything at all)

pardon? normies who don't "care about games" are generally social gamers
they're not the type of people to play singleplayer games out of enjoyment for gaming, they just rely on gaming as a social platform
i guarantee you, normies who make games are best suited for making social co-op games
they suck at making "real" games, but have enough experience and passion for social games that they'll be able to at least make something fun they can play with their friends
ask them to develop a narrative, polish mechanics, improve progression systems, and make their assets cohesive, and they'll fail, because they don't care about any of those elements of gaming
ask them to make a game they can play with their friends and have fun messing around in, and they'll likely make something much better
this is at least my perspective on what normie "fake gamers" should do if they're insistent upon making games
what other experience do they have with gaming? why would they make something they're not familiar with? why not make something that's in alignment with their passion, even if they don't know exactly what their passion is?

i like my game but i don't think other people will
gonna finish it, release it, and learn from the experience

>>529512550
You're right, and this makes me think more than ever that a huge percentage of /agdg are these kind of 'fake gamer' normies. Osur and Bigguydev are 1000% like this. They don't seem that interested in games as a medium and just hyperfixate on the kind of casual slop they are used to

>>529512679
Follow up to this >>529374335
>I am nolifer I can basically go all in on this, since the start, I have been studying and doing game dev for 12 hours almost everyday
How do you stay focused for that long? I'm a nolifer aw, and I do like 4 hours on a good day. That's insane self discipline.

this whiteoid troon has no morality, it doesnt think about doing whats "right" or making gambleslop that ruins the market and tricks pigs into wasting hundred of hours on a game that deserves less than 10 top because of decades of refined skinnerbox psyops, we're in the jewish century and these are the kind of people who "win"

>>529512127
>>529512550
HOLY SHIT this makes so much sense. It all makes sense now. So this is why some people only buy certain games if they are popular and walk past them otherwise. On the one hand it's the social proof and not wanting to waste time with something that is disliked by the in-group. On the other hand it's because some people only play games (even pure single player games) as a social activity. They do it so that they can talk with other people about the game or experience the online community or watch videos on it etc. If a game has none of that they skip it even if it's the greatest game ever made, because their priorities are completely social and have nothing to do with the pure gameplay experience in the first place. There are people who play games because it drowns out their mental problems. There's people who play games because they enjoy the process. And then there's people who play games to participate in the social element. How did I not realize it until now

>>529513993
true

>>529514249
I don't know, specially since we had a thread themed about the Bartle's Taxonomy of Player Types just a couple days ago >>529274515 and it literally typifies the "Socializer".

>>529514249
>some people only play games ... as a social activity
>they can talk with other people about the game or experience the online community or watch videos on it etc
>their priorities are completely social and have nothing to do with the pure gameplay experience in the first place
you see this very frequently with the dark souls community

>>529513993
No idea who marnix is but fagoon isn't a true dev because he's lazy and incompetent. If he actually spent 5 seconds being better than a day 1 everything then I'd say he's a real dev if not still a huge piece of shit pedo faggot though.

>>529512343
You're mad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxq4Am5jafg

I honestly think this is an amazing idea.

:D

>>529514249
The inner circle operates on the same principle. They pay attention to the games of the devs that participate the most socially in the community and forget about the games of the ones that don't. It's all socially based and has nothing to do with the games themselves. I'm starting to think anon was right.

>>529514249
It's not that deep. 96% humans are literally animals controlled by environmental condition.
They will gladly call something slop, but will do a complete 180 if there favourite streamer plays it, or it becomes mainstream.

Unity? Godot? Nah nigga we using ALLEGRO

gamedev equivalent of this?

>>529512550
>>529514249
The /tv/ analogy of this would be Squid Game or MCU movies. They are garbage but you don't watch them for the quality, you watch them so you can talk to people about them and shitpost on /tv/. Social-based products are a real thing

>>529511256
thanks kita chan

>>529514483
it's important to note that bartle's taxonomy was created specifically for MMORPGs, not all games
and even with this category, the majority of players are socializers
i think "real gamers", people who play singleplayer games out of pure passion for what the game provides, are actually very rare
even hyper-linear slop on roblox, like grow a garden, or steal a brainrot, has multiplayer lobbies, so you can look at what other people are doing
the social aspect of gaming, even singleplayer games through their communities, seems to be very under-discussed amongst devs, yet it's arguably the most important aspect for success and positive retention

>>529514748

wish me luck lol

good luck anon.

Every gamedev knows that the secret to thrivin is knowing when to jump the project and knowing when to keep

>>529516015
I guess so. But you could also use magnetic ones and save getting pierced for nothing if you don't manage to get any girls.

Alright finished a quick render.

Was just listening to this guy again. He's barely keeping it together. He's realizing that not only do other game devs make far better games, but that they make better youtube channels as well. "Your youtube is WAY better than mine because it's just, it's just so FOCUSED." *holds back tears...

I hope his twisted tower game sells well so he doesn't paint the walls with his brains. Think of your family Tom, it's ok if you're not great at making games.

>>529517794
>should have made him bigger
r/functionalprint

>>529518139
i think he'll be alright

>>529518179
just need make the legs jointed, then add some servos and a waterproof camera
hook it up to an llm and boom profit

>>529514954
Really? It makes no sense? Are you dumb?

Another dev who made shitloads during the indie goldrush.

>>529518139
Can you give me more details. I feel like this part applies to me except in terms of speed at making games and better quality:
>He's realizing that not only do other game devs make far better games, but that they make better youtube channels as well. "Your youtube is WAY better than mine because it's just, it's just so FOCUSED." *holds back tears...

>>529518514
>making an RPG alone
dont do this

>>529518514
i cant comprehend how someone cant complete something so simple in such a long period of time. its a shame all the money goes to those with no ambition.

WHAT

>>529518917
ye

>>529517525
Shitposting. Some anon in here was begging on how to find a slot machine asset for their game and we told them to make it because it's easy.

>>529518514
I suspect ambitious projects like this get this ending more often then its talked about. Wonder whats going on to cause this kind of stuff, poor dev management skill? Not a high enough programming skill? Lack of content ideas?

>>529518680
It was just Thomas prostrating himself of some random dev like usual. I wasn't making any deep point.

>>529518917
eyup
and then the majority that do play will only play for 30 minutes

>>529518773
If I don't then who will

>>529519014
Probably just a person taking on too much responsibility. Idk how people try doing Art, Programming, Music. It's a rare fucking person who can do all that AND deliver a content filled game. I feel like Stardew is a good example of what's possible for a single dev. If you look at what actually launched, Stardew was not FULL of content. I mean it had farming, and the building to rebuild, and relationships. So a good game by all means, but really take what features he has and realistically think about it, it's not that much. And that's really all you can hope to do if you're alone. It's going to take 5 years to have a core system and a few side systems.

>>529518917
I buy games as charity

>>529518965
>>529519238
is this why games can make so much passive income now? Gaben deserves the 30% in that case. This means that people are buying games they would never buy otherwise, and it's only possible through steam. It also means that as long as you impress your core fanbase you don't have to deal with any complaints or requests from over HALF of your buyers

>>529518917
70-80% of players are roleplayers and socializers.

They don't play games to overcome dificult things.

The issue is designing games where you can't skip things so everyone reaches the end.

Games are still designed for killers when less than 5% of gamers are killers.

>>529518917
this is false, 25-35% won't play it

>>529519462
>it's not that much.
Yeah looking at my last game it felt like a lot when working on it but then Id grab all the assets and it just didnt feel like a lot. Not even 50 different enemies worth. Yet it took me so long to develop the game and it hasnt even been finished.

>>529519828
eyup its great!
also make sure to never support linux
they are a tiny minority but will make up like 90% of your bug reports

>>529518917
like 70% played mine but i think most idled to get cards so obviously im an outlier

>>529518838
>i cant comprehend how someone cant complete something so simple in such a long period of time
He literally got rich off a game he made in 4 months (with some extra updates in the months after).
Money is poison and it kills your hunger to "make it".

Though I should mention an RPG game is never something "so simple" to make.

>>529518917
As long as they don't refund it...

>>529498662
based jetbrains enjoyer

>>529520861
most don't

>>529519982
To clarify, I do think SDV was a solid well rounded game with a good core system + complimentary systems. BUT on paper it's not that much. Like, how many enemies did he have, how varied was combat? Very few, and basically no combat variation. Bombs and sword is was 99% of that system. Then the friend system is just giving people items. And again this isn't bad, it's just something to think about. This "simple" stuff takes a lot of time.

>>529517525
>>529519005
If you check /v/ he's in there making excuses on why it's somehow impossible for him to do.

an incremental tower defense game is the only game i can think of making right now

Years from now in your millionare home you're going to reminesce about how you forced that deckbuilder mechanic into your game and you will feel ashamed of yourself

>>529507876
I don't disagree with what he's saying at all, but he's trying to sound very elitist for someone whose game looks like absolute shit, and doesn't play too well. His game was a success because it's horror, the lowest common denominator in every type of entertainment.
There's definitely devs that could get away with being this sincere and condescending, but he's not him. He got lucky.

and all of a sudden, he's ignoring the fact that he had a meltie on youtube?

>>529525565
The indie goldrush rewarded so many mediocre games

>>529525565
it's a stylistic choice, incel

I am struggling so much to make my game's art original, it is always overbaked and incoherent shit that nobody would pay any (ANY) money for.
Also you know, in order to evaluate if something is coherent you need to fucking draw it, and that takes time.
Seriously fuck this shit, I am so fucking done.

I like myself so much that there aren't any leftover "likes" for others.
I'd say sorry, but I don't like you enough to apologize.

That's not exactly what happened.

Thoughts on stuffing your game into any and all loosely related jams to get some feedback?

>>529535980
Enjoy the process

I'm finally starting to realize how much of a retard I am for ever thinking game dev was going to free me from wageslavery. The estimated net revenue for a $10 game with 1,000 reviews is barely over $100,000. Before taxes too. That's 35 THOUSAND sales by the way. I consider $100k to be the absolute bare minimum amount needed to actually feel like I've "made it", and even then it still isn't enough to buy a house in my country (third worlders need not reply). I'd still be a rentoid.
So even after I've managed to strike gold and make a game people actually like, I'd need to immediately start working on my next game, because that $100k is going to dry up real quick unless I want to go back to wageslaving. But would I really have enough of a fanbase at that modest level of success to guarantee my next game will provide me with anything more than a few thousand dollars? Can I bank on lightning striking twice? I don't think so.
Feel free to laugh at my stupidity for not just thinking I had a chance at making it, but making it to the level that I'd achieve true freedom. I don't even want to be mega wealthy, I just want to be able to quit my job with some feeling of security to keep making games.

I honestly want to make a game that feels like winamp + isekai + reading old newspapers + reader digest from the 60's + typewriter ambient + 70's terminals + 80's anime.

either you become rich with your hit game or you might as well not even release any game.
no stardew valleys wasn't erics 10th game release. no minecraft wasn't notchs 10th game release. no schedule 1 wasn't the 10th release.

at least poverty is harsh and truthful, middle class income is just eternal copium in fear of not hitting rock bottom with the poorfags. at least poorfags can handle it and don't have to enslave themselves out of fear.

>>529539437
yeah just looking at all the random 2D platformers that blew up randomly because they won the lottery...
oh wait, none of them blows up :DDD

>>529539521
it's not a lottery, the other anon is just a fucking dumbass with low IQ who can't recognize patterns. when you can't recognize a pattern you believe it is randomness. that's literally the definition of low intelligence.
imagine going to a doctor and he says "if i can cure you is literally just a lottery, because there's no obvious pattern in your symptoms" - i know your finger is swollen, but if your finger is really the problem is just like playing the lottery. maybe it's your anus?

Valve cultists don't care. They're the modern console zealots.

>>529539950
yep, having a personal identity is the key, not random ideas. that's why ghetto poorfags are rappers and not country singers. same vice versa.
if you don't align what you do with your identity you'll be seen as a fraud and fail.

>gamedev is basically a lottery. you can either spend all your time on one lottery ticket, or make a lot of lottery tickets

ppl say there's so many good games yet they all fail. meanwhile i don't see any good games. maybe i'm just blind or so. i genuinely think schedule 1 was better than all those 2D indie games. like, i don't really see all those good games that fail out of bad luck. maybe they serve a niche, but then yeah, if you go for a niche, then you are just a niche game, ofc you not gonna hit the masses.

>>529539437
third worlder mindset

if the game you want to play can be made by one person it means that your game isnt good

If you can't make a good game with 1 person, you have a skill issue.

good game =/= big game

>>529541408
nigga you have 3+ years time to make your stupid ass game. what the hell do you do in those 3 years that cannot be good in the end?
with early access you can even stretch it to 10+ years.

Keep posting this cat and daigo picture cristobal. They are funny.

I know creating a 3d platformer is a bad idea commercially. But I'm not even sure that's the main genre.

You control a guy on an island on the day of the apocalypse and have to manage your time and island resources to survive it.
You'll have to discover the order of things to do, object interactions through experimentation and exploration of the island to find interest points. all this while wiping until eventually winning.
Should I try?

Hell yes anon do it!!
This is a hobby, and the point of a hobby is to enjoy it. You'll learn so much.
It feels great to finish a small shitty game and have anons play the demo.

I recommend raylib as it has more high level features that will help a beginner. But SDL has more low level functionality so you can make your own choice.

>>529539437
its a lottery ticket but making a good game gets you more rolls

>>529545726
Just add one key ingredient

How do you make token collecting/turning in exciting and fun? Basically, kill a bunch of enemies, at the end of the level a UI pop up tells you that you earned x number of tokens. Walk over to NPC and another UI pop up lets you click a button to turn in the tokens

But there were no actual tokens, there was no feeling of earning and achieving, and no dopamine released via the turn in (although a juiced up animated XP bar and level up sounds/effects can help with this)

Any thoughts? Yesdev, nodev, and idea guy opinions all welcome

>>529536672
>-4$

Gamedev is like poker. You fold hands until you find one within your range, and then bet time and effort into making it. Even with bullets, you're not guaranteed success, but your odds are overwhelmingly higher.

Gamedev is not a lottery. If you believe so, that is because your IQ is too low. You have no clue how to interpret the hand you're playing. You might as well be playing blind.

>>529546223
Did sweet baby finally update their copy paste material?

Now I see why you guys hate the 'Goon. He was right about everything. Sure, he is not perfect, but at least he is a tried and true yesdev who is the embodiment of whimsical adventure, deep lore, and solid messaging for the entire family to enjoy.

>>529546398
even if you make them green floating orbs or something, you gotta tune into the caveman brain and give us physical, attractive-looking things to collect and spend that are shiny and/or interesting. and give us satisfying, high-pitched "clinking" sounds when they are collected (and maybe make consequent pickup sounds go up in pitch slightly)

Every single tranimeposter you share this general with is eventually going to end up like Chris Chan did

The only reason you won't hear about it is because none of them are as high profile as him

>>529546398
The act of collecting doesn't have to be fun. the rewards have to. players will get excited on their own by the potential rewards each time they spot a collectible.

>>529546984

>>529545726
its soulless as fuck though. basically kongjaks.

>>529546398
you need a limiter.

Basically the best fit for collecting without combat is a level time limit.

>>529542464
it feels good to flex on godotroons and unity/unreal jeets

>>529545280
If SDL ends up being too harsh on me, I will use raylib

>>529546398
>>529546935
>>529547096
>>529547714
So in all of these examples there does need to be a physical act of collecting it seems. My issue is over-loading the player with collecting too much. Item drops, coin drops, XP drops, etc, it almost becomes too noisy and less impactful at that point. Hmmmm....

>>529548262
you can use something like collect the most tokens in 60 seconds, as core non violent combat alternative.

browsing this thread and actually reading what people write will retrain your brain and it'll make you think like nodevs

>>529548262
The key is the ups and downs. Small reward for small enemies and huge reward for big enemies. Disproportionately huge like an ogre that's as tough as 5 orcs would drop 15X as many tokens as those 5 orcs. That way the swings between big and small rewards can really drum up some excitement.

>>529548924
If you give equal value to each comment then yes but I wouldn't recommend that.

>>529549193

>even if i worked for 4 years and the game was a flop, I would have learned so much, I would have grown as a person and I would have the dignity of like, I had finished a project and I feel that is important too and that can, you know... if you keep that going, eventually, you're really increasing your chances of something happening... it's better than doing nothing!

>>529549521
you cannot force this mindset, you need financial security to have it

>>529549652
If you don't at least have short-term financial security, you should not be wasting your time with game dev.

>>529549521
the only ways ive learned and grew while making this game are obtaining useless skills like programming and animating
the ony thing that will happen when i release this flop is i'll have wasted the years i was supposed to be doing things with and end up poor and worthless forever

Right. When Alexander invaded Persia people often say "Well he was a prince who became King, it was so easy for him!" No, he had to sell off most of his land, most his property. To the point it worried his companions. "Alexander, what have you left for yourself?" Alexander "My dreams." He got his financing in order and then went to war. He didn't just launch himself into war, 1 foot in and 1 foot out. Get your shit in order and then do it.
