I try to make a "trendy game" and I get bored instantly it's like I don't even like games in this genre how would I make a good game by doing this.

@CodeRed_dev Never force yourself to make a game you don’t enjoy playing yourself. IMO kills the entire point of being a developer

@CodeRed_dev most new and popular indie game genres were created -- out of just mashing a bunch of games together

@CodeRed_dev It's a lot easier if you see it as a learning project for the stuff you're more into

@CodeRed_dev Might be an issue with not playing enough games. I don't like most "horror" or friendslop games but I've played and enjoyed Prey and Deep Rock Galactic so if I wanted to make games in those genres to chase a trend I'd base them on those 2 games I do like.

@CodeRed_dev Spending months and all your mental energy on creating a game in a genre you don't really play or are passionate by is insanely draining. We tried making a deckbuilder and a coop game two years ago and I don't know if we'll ever touch those projects again :/

@CodeRed_dev Just gonna be staring at the game engine for an hour

@CodeRed_dev all games suck no matter what.
