u know how to make money? let me tell u about this forum, yes yes, f95zone forum,
the developer want to scam ppl, he made a game, a bad one, he know its bad but he want money for it, so he just message to some mod here and tell him to delete bad reviews about hus game so only good reviewes eill be there. Ofcourse when someone sees a good review only he gonna play this game for sure, probably even donate to the developer some money(before playing the game itself)... how is it? heh corrupted f95zone mods...

It's not a competition, there's nobody out there waiting to make you fail, peoples that think it's a sort of race have issues, they are insecure and try to put the blame on others for their own short comings. there's no rush, no expectation, no one is waiting to ambush you, in fact: if you put your mind to it, no one CAN stop you, trust yourself and keep working.

If you have a creative mind you will stand out, if you want to create something do it, there's nothing and no one stopping you, be persistent. Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

It's not luck that make you write interesting stories and compelling characters, it's not luck if you create an attractive world.

luck is like saying "god" or "magic" or "destiny" it's just something people's brain don't understand so they put a name on it, but the reality is that there's a reason to everything, if you achieve anything in life: it's not about luck, it's about dedication and consistency, your success and failures are your own.

once you have the right mindset, then you start from the ground up, scenario, characters, make a storyboard, define how they interact with each others, some like soccer, others like basketball...

when you have a clear definition of "who what where when and why" then you choose an engine, and that depend on how comfortable you are with coding, what kind of experience you want to share, how best your world will be represented, there are several options and peoples ready to help you.

finally the visuals, define a style and stick to it, it doesn't have to be good, but it must serve it's purpose: to illustrate what's going on, and if visual are coherent and consistent it will be appealing; look games like AOLTA by Hornblase, the art is not great, but it's consistent and the final product "make sense".

You're not a victim, don't look for excuses, it's all up to you.

All developers in this industry have the same problems. Firstly, they are completely unable and make no effort to promote their product. At best, they will post their game here on F95 and Steam. This is where all marketing ends. They just did something and waiting for people to come running to it.
Secondly, they do not improve the quality and volume of production. They don't try to optimize their work. A minority of devs get stuck at one level. Most work worse and worse over time. I mean, less content in each update, slower work on those updates, less communication, etc.
So, don't make these mistakes and you can make a lot of money.
