I am really enjoying Parcel Simulator! I played up until 2 AM playing it, I have not done that in a long long time :)

This is a solo project?! Is this your first game?

I had forgotten how much progress I had made with this little project =) I have been deep in engine code rewriting the transform system, sometimes I need a visual. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #solodev #customgameengine #screenshotsaturday

I know difficult to answer but any rough estimate of how many hours you have spent working on the game?

Viv is 100% correct here. Your options are always one of three:

1. Do not make an indie game.
2. Get funding, usually by making something that fits a very narrow and useless definition of "safe", and subsequently losing agency over your production reality.
3. Have another income or means.

ok but for real if you want to make a really good indie (or AA) games the number one way is "be financially comfortable via other means"

blue prince guy owned a popular website generating income, toby fox was a successful musician...

frankly if we had a UBI youd get SO MANY GOOD GAMES

You still work on sapiens? Don’t beat me up if that’s one of the questions you as a dev hate lol. I’m not really a sapiens player I just noticed I haven’t seen a sapiens dev log in a bit
