I debated posting this because I'm not sure it paints my business management in a great light lol, and Americans can only cope with "hell yeah!" type posts, but anyway... This was our company bank balance in 2023. We nearly ran out of cash in December.
"asset flip" means "they bought a sample project, changed the logo, and put it up for sale", it DOES NOT mean "game that uses a lot of store bought assets"
I often get messages from people saying they'll donate to me once they made enough money, or once their paycheck comes in but using my game assets and spreading the word is already a 'donation', it supports me more than you'd think.
Bigger reach means more free assets 😌
Finishing making a game is like climbing a mountain (I've climbed several) except the mountain keeps getting taller!
Anyway, remember to enjoy nature and the view during the climb.
