Indie games don't make money
I always find it sad, and kind of ridiculous, when indie game developers quit everything and live on no money for years trying to make the next big thing.<p>Making indie games should be about doing something because you love it. Keep a day job (even part time), then design and build something cool in your spare time. Don&#x27;t worry about making money, worry about making something people want to play, and it will be much more fulfilling.<p>The game industry, just like any industry, is all about making money. It&#x27;s not fun. It&#x27;s not about self-expression... but doing it as a hobby is often both! Sometimes people who do it as a hobby end up making money, and that&#x27;s great, but don&#x27;t go in expecting that, because as the article states, it&#x27;s very unlikely to happen.
