In a way, this does break rule 4, as multiples report pointed out, but I’ll allow it for this time in order for y’all to congratulate our fellow gamer here for its huge accomplishments.
OP is advised, in hope to appease the report queue gods, to kindly celebrate next achievement in the most monotonous, mild and definitively not memey manner. Thaaaanks. (/s)
Congrats dude!
You’re one of the best mods I’ve ever seen
Thank you. I do my best.
Thank you for your generosity! Memes are my thing, I will try to restrain myself in the future.
Thank you so much to everyone who has wishlisted the game—it truly means the world to me. And if you’ve never heard of it, that’s totally okay! I just wanted to share a bit about what it’s like to pursue the dream of making indie games on your own.
Balancing this with a regular job, a wonderful dog, and a supportive girlfriend can be overwhelming, and honestly, sleep has become more of a luxury than a reality at this point. But creating games has always been a huge dream of mine, and no matter how tough it gets, I’m determined to make it happen. I genuinely believe that the harder you work, the luckier you become—but it all starts with putting in the work.
I just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that, even if a game doesn’t turn out perfect, most indie devs have poured their heart and soul into it, often while juggling tight budgets, limited time, or both. In my case, my brother, who’s an amazing programmer, helps out whenever he can, but he’s been incredibly busy this past year, so it’s mostly just on weekends. For me, it’s been a lot of 14-hour days.
So thank you again for all the support—it makes all the sacrifices worthwhile. And to any fellow developers out there, keep pushing forward. We’re all in this together.
Heya man, I just wishlisted this because of reading your comments in this post. You’re a good dude.
I’m a programmer too, been doing it for roughly 27 years. Next year, I’m going to quit my well paying job, where I have a fully remote working position working with some of the most talented engineers in the field for one of the largest privately held companies in the world, a position I’ll probably never be able to get/achieve again in my lifetime; and throw it all away and start an indie studio with my brother and another indie dev. I’ve wanted to make video games for as long as I can remember. This is a childhood dream of mine.
Life’s too short, chase your dreams while you still can. It doesn’t get easier when you get older.
Hearing about your passion helps keep me focused on hopefully realizing my own dream one day soon :)
Edit: I genuinely don’t understand the downvotes? Could someone help me understand why please? :)
Congratulations. I wish you all the best 👏👏
Thank you so much :)
