I see this a lot: a clearly talented person who is unable to monetize their project.

At a glance, it looks like OP is just building stuff, throwing it at a wall and seeing what sticks. Of course, that is bound to fail. You are, essentially, playing the lottery.

Nowhere in that blog did I see any mention of figuring out what a customer is looking for in a game or a product.

What is the niche you are trying to fill or pain-point you are trying to solve? It would be much better to build something _after_ you know people want it, not before.
