Five colossal challenges loom large.
• Funding The ravenous beast. Securing enough capital, enough bread, is daunting. Begging bowl time. How to stand out when everyone is asking? The sheer pressure is madness.• Marketing Yelling into the void. Getting your game noticed amongst a cacophony of noise. It's soul-crushing. Visibility is a fight. Brutal.
• Scope Creep The insidious monster. Expanding the game beyond manageable proportions. Temptation is massive. More and more, always more! But at what cost? Sanity?
• Burnout The inevitable consequence of relentless work. A terrifying, crippling state. Sleepless nights. Coffee binges. Isolation, so, so much isolation.
• Criticism The stinging darts of the internet. Handling negative feedback with grace. Impossible. Each bad review is a personal attack. Ouch!
More to chew on...
The romantic notion of a lone wolf crafting a masterpiece... mostly a myth. Collaboration is key. Finding trustworthy, talented partners is like finding gold. Essential.
The tools have democratized development, but that also means a flood of content. Standing out requires genuine innovation or a shockingly unique style. Otherwise, forget about it.
The emotional toll is immense. Rejection, doubt, financial strain, all taking a toll. Mental fortitude is as important as technical skill. No joke.
Passion is NOT enough. Business acumen is required. Learning to sell yourself and your product. Gross, but necessary.
Sometimes, the greatest games are born from limitations. Embrace constraints. Limitations spark creativity.
Success is not guaranteed. Many talented developers toil in obscurity. Accept this reality.
Don't neglect your health. Seriously. Take breaks. Walk outside. See the sun. Your sanity, your body will thank you. A healthy mind creates a healthy game.
