tfw you realise no matter how many hours, days, or years you spend slaving away on your game, the most you'll ever be able to produce is a 2d platform/shooter that doesn't hold a candle metroid or super mario, and you will never ever create that epic RPG that you have in your head
tell that to Pixel. he made 2 platformers better than metroid

7 years for Underrail. 12 years for Age of Decadence. 20 years for Grimoire.
Are you as dedicated as those dudes?

You just need to learn the fact that you are not an AAA studio with lots of manpower, but a single indie dev. Design your games accordingly.
There are tons of indie devs that made awesome things that are not the perfect AAA RPG game everyone dreams of making.
Well yeah with that attitude you won't.
Although with that attitude you probably won't slave away even for one hour.
A lot of indie games look intresting, the one thing most lack are aesthetics
Speak for yourself, I'm making an action rpg in Quake 2 Engine.
That epic rpg in your head is probably trash anyway.

From what I understand they only worked full time on the game for like year and a half. Prior to that they all had other jobs and worked on AoD whenever they could.

Why not?
So what? I'm having fun making my shitty little games using my shitty little sprites.

Because it's pretty old. Why not a modern engine?
>>389932252
Engine still works, engine still has all the features I need to make the game, I don't want to use Unity or Unreal 4.
>>389924570
Well, the only way to know for sure how it'll turn out is to just give up.
It worked for toby fox

Nothing about his post mentioned anything about RPG Codex, the only one flaunting the fact that they browse RPG Codex is you.
