| That has been a pretty wild development to watch.. I've been following him for a while, it's interesting what a polarizing figure he is.. a recent comment on his X feed resonated with quite a few people "I’ve never seen an account that feels inspirational and makes me want to kill myself simultaneously" He is definitely an entrepreneur/business man first and a developer second.. He has taught himself the skills to minimally get the job done functionally, has decent eye for design, and knows how to market... He makes it blatantly obvious, moreso than usual, that sales and marketing are way more important to making money than doing things technically "the right way".. At least on these smaller scale things because he only knows how to work by himself. People hate that he's figured out how to make tens of thousands of dollars from a game that is arguably worse than hundreds of games that make nothing... I see that as just another skill that can be learned. And it is cool how transparent he is about his operations. But yes, even with his blueprints it is hard to replicate his successes, my attempt of "one shotting" a video game was not very impressive.. |
