What do you do when the only thing you want in life is impossible?

Think about Undertale. That game was (as far as I know) created by one dude. Just brainstorm, and if you think you have a good idea, work at it and put it on Steam. Problem solved.


Looking forward to what you come up with!

do you want a writer, anon?

Do you want a manager and sound designer?

You can find some niche that's on the way up and become the god of that.

If you want me to be more specific: there's a movement online based on making things called Explorable Explanations (see explorabl.es), but most of the people there are better at the education and presentation and domain-specific knowledge than they are at making their toys fun to play with, so they could use someone with your background.

But in case that doesn't float your boat . . . your heroes got to be big fishes because they were in a smaller pond, and so can you. You know the industry better than me: what weird niches are currently underserved?

(that's not a rhetorical question, I'm actually curious)

Plenty opensource retro games around. You could be doing it every single day of the week, just don't expect it to pay your bills, at least not in the short term.

Do you have any music samples?

What I'd truly like to see is you to write your own game, with other people like myself helping you out, under the same umbrella. Like how Sierra had Al Lowe make the leasure suit Larry series on his own, for example.

Weird niches in video games? I'm sure there are practically limitless weird ideas to try, but many would not catch on.

An example of a hit game comes to mind called Crypt of the Necrodancer. It's a dungeon crawling, dancing game.

Need my game to have hooks that want people to try it. I've made a couple shitty little games that basically no one has played. One of my Android games has like 200 Downloads.
