That's a very dangerous advice. Games are cultural products, not technical. You need to understand programming, game design, UI design, art direction, and marketing at once. Plus it's a hit-driven industry.
I'd say the majority is below $10 (ten) in revenue. $5-100k is nowhere near "typical income range" for independent game development.
- JoshuaDavid 10y agoI think that was "$5 - $100,000", not "$5,000 - $100,000". Although "the majority below $10k" is an understatement.
- ivm 10y agoIt is not an understatement, mobile game development often ends up with negative income. If you're not featured by Apple or Google - it's over.
