But the question might be better posed as "is it probable"? And the answer to that depends on the plan, the ability to execute it, and a pinch of good fortune. Being solo may involve more entrepreneurship and salesmanship than game development - does that appeal? Plus: the game market is over supplied, most games are offered for free, why does the world care about another game? Harsh even in a team, brutal as a solo. Still interested? If making-a-living-from-gamedev is the primary goal it may be worth putting own-projects on hold, and securing gainful employment in the gamedev industry (or supporting digital creative services) as a first step. Doing that will often require exemplary talent, and demonstrable portfolio ... and there's few better ways to gain both than to build solo projects. Contradiction!?! Not if those projects are solely for skill development - think learning, not income - then enhance that foundation on someone else's payroll until its time to fly. To recap: either take a massive chance and risk lonely economic failure, or gain value incrementally while doing supporting things for income. Whichever route is chosen, all efforts must assist the end goal. theNeedle and Antriel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicKingdom_ Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 It's possible. But I think the real question is..... what are the chances of being successful enough to make a living off of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenrySneeed Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 You won't know until you try! If you're still in school try to build income sources in as many ways as you can. If you feel comfortable by the end ...maybe you could go for it full time! ::)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
