I wanna make a vidya friends! I want it to be 2D. I'm not

Do you have the money and the skills to make a game?

I have the skills and some money saved up.

Just make something that you would want to play. I really like when games dont hold your hand, much more rewarding when you figure out something on your own.

Good luck. It is a good idea to think a lot about your target scope — I tried to make a vidya too, but it was too much for me to handle.

You're right, but what I want to play may not be for you. I just want to make something that can reach as much gamers possible that aren't children.

Would draws you more to an indie vidya? Mechanics/challenge, story, or personality/depth?

My favorite genre is roguelike / old rpgs like Ultima VII or Wizardry 6-8. The game I tried to do was a text-based adventure like Shadowgate with isometric turn-based battle scenes. So I would say a game should be a game first and a book second. I mean all parts are important, but in the end we are have some kind of system and try to 'solve' it. So this puzzlebox should be sufficiently deep and engaging first, everything else is secondary. Unless you're a fan of interactive fiction, then narrative is your Grail.

Ok, thanks

If you aren't creative and perceptive enough to have a dozen ideas of games to make, you have absolutely no business being the creative force behind a game.
