Kryzon: Why do you expect people to give you money for something you're not great at?

Pfaber11: Yes I see what you are saying but I am not that great at creating pictures. Will try and produce some artwork for the Game I'm working on at the moment. I'll see what I can come up with.

MikeHart: I you wantcto sell stuff, the visual aspect is very important. The days of VCS2600 artwork are over.
Today at 06:07:18 AM
Pfaber11: Yes they want it all for free most of the time . Sales over and so are the downloads .

Qube: Of course I want the games for free!! I've just spent £1000 on a shiny new phone and you expect me to pay £0.99 on a game?

Steve Elliott: Downloads maybe, but I have a suspicion that people on their mobile devices want everything for free.

Pfaber11: I recently had a sale on all my games and I had as many downloads for Android as I did windows . This was on itch.io . So I won't be dismissing Android any time soon . I don't bother with linux or mac though.

Kryzon: There's something of politics too, even if your custom/alternative engine can do cross-platform, sometimes it's easier to get a publisher on board if you're using something popular like Unity. Also because you can send them the project files and another team takes over the porting to consoles etc. -- this happened to a friend of mine and their project

Qube: and Mac

MikeHart: As an indie dev, imho windows is all you need.
September 14, 2019, 07:15:08 AM
Steve Elliott: But it was Windows only...Oh well that's in the past now, onwards and upwards...

Steve Elliott: It's a happier path. I'm pretty much a 2D guy, but put a ton of work into learning some 3D techniques - because I thought the engine was extremely flexible, unique and ran like lightening on even slow systems.

MikeHart: I helped so many devs and got burned almost as many times. Doing my own thing now.

Steve Elliott: Very true, you think I'll save lots of hard work following this guy, he's not like the previous guy...Then he also shuts down his website and Disappears!

MikeHart: Don't count on others. That is all I can say.
September 12, 2019, 07:17:08 PM
Steve Elliott: Cheers Mike and you for Cerberus X. Yes lots. I always wanted others to do the work but they let us down.
September 12, 2019, 07:00:11 PM
MikeHart: Good luck Steve. Lots of work.

Steve Elliott: Nope working on an IDE

Xaron: Still did not gave up on that idea...
