People think indie success is all about luck or making a hit. But personally I prefer to focus on SUSTAINABILITY and being risk averse.
All of my games were built on a low budget (basically just my time, which basically means just rent) which made it easier to turn a profit.
For my whole career, I've controlled my expenses by not living over my means, I saved up and I did everything I could to make this normally risky endeavor (indie game development) much less risky.
That's how I was able to survive for over a decade even though I had several flops in my career.
When I first moved out of my parents house I was living as cheaply as possible on about 600 per month. That meant that for a 10 month project to turn a profit I just needed to make 6000.
For me personally my nightmare is running a giant studio with 20+ employees that I'm responsible for. With a studio like that the monthly burn rate is in the hundreds of thousands so even if you get a million dollars in funding it can dry up super quickly.
But that's just my personal view. Some people have a dream of running an indie studio and if you have that dream I hope you achieve it! Just be aware of how difficult it is.

@GAMERTAGVR You should check how the Steam VR home is abandoned; you can't even make purchases using VR on Steam. Hopefully, they will do a rework when the new device is released

@markgadala No difference between watching the video and playing it. Those who say "This game would sell millions" are the ones who don't even buy games 😂

@UnityCodeMonkey Simple: Lots of documentation, super professional, supported by major console platforms. At the end, it's more on the side of the Studio/Developer rather than thinking about whether the game is going to be great or not with that engine.

@GabreuSenra Keep it up, learn from what didn't worked and move to the next IP. Don't give up!!

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you see all those “my game hit a million wishlists” posts.
The reality? Not every game is going to blow up and be viral, and that’s okay.
My game didn’t make a huge splash (yet!), but Im happy with it!!
Big shoutout to the 6 amazing players who’ve supported me! You’re everything! 💙

@EpicGames Designed for Fortnite? Why adding extra step just to play Fortnite lol.
