It has been slightly over 2 years since I started my indie gamedev journey. I began my life overconfident, despite reading the warnings of many who have failed or suffered along their own paths toward independent game development.

I will spare you the bush-beating of how hard I fell from my initial period of extremely bloated self confidence, into the pits of despair & loneliness. However, as a personal milestone, look! I’ve survived for two years as an indie gamedev. Things can’t possibly get any worse. Even if I’m way past my age to be a newbie in this industry, I can keep going, heck, maybe catch up one day. Maybe. I won’t know until I get there.

To all the struggling gamedevs like myself: Hang in there! We’re all in this together.
