    ??? Is this a real account?

    The comments it posts are wildly different personal accounts. The "me" in this post is "David Turner"...?

    I think the aim of the game for any entrepreneur is to quit their full time job and do something they are creating!

    That's my plan with www.survey101.io

        Awesome - thank you!

        What would your product exactly do?

          I still don't have courage to call it as a product, a simple note taking extension in youtube, may be you will see similar to these in udemy, where in the bottom of the youtube viewers can write comment, attached to timestamp and in the right side they can see all the notes for the video, they added . for premium users they can sync with google account and can ad to their notion

    It's great! Always follow your dreams.

    Wish you the best of luck, Ryan!

    I wanted to ask if you use any project management software specially for game dev....like Codecks. If not, would you be interested in using something like that?

    A great read about a smart plan on an intriguing game. Good luck going forwards with this promising game.

    Looks fun. I recently built an indie game as well, though I put in much less effort in terms of time as you can see (a day).

    If you can get featured in a magazine like PC Gamer it will have a huge impact on user growth.
    https://wheredle.xyz recently reached 300k players in total and a lot of it was due to this article https://www.pcgamer.com/combine-wordle-with-geoguessr-and-youve-got-a-new-daily-fixation-wheredle/

    Nice to see a game developer in here. I started off in 2010 as an indie game developer using XNA for the Xbox 360. Good luck mate!

    Great read! Really informative. The UI sounds like a big headache. Been there before, many times. Hope everything works out well for you. Looks like you're on the right track.

    Wow! Congrats on building your first game and best of luck with your second one. You've got a good plan, setting a year goal of trying to make it as a game developer. I'd say that's enough time to see whether it's profitable or not.
