What it Takes to Make a Game by Yourself
Macrocosm is a mobile game that takes you from atom to galactic empire across seven interconnected stages where making progress in one stage gives you a boost in the next! This post is a deep dive into the (nearly) four years of free time I spent making it.

This was a great read on perseverance and on making games.
“The games industry is a very competitive space and there's a high likelihood you won't even make minimum wage for the time you put into it on your first game. I certainly haven't yet. Try to find what your passion is for making games and what you want to accomplish. If you're just in it for the money, there are easier ways to make money for your time. I'd advise seeing how far you can get doing game development as a side project to make sure you love doing it and can stick with it before pursuing it as a full time job. “
