I had a brief foray into indie game development. Luckily, my game "Discretion" was quickly swallowed into Android Market obscurity and only sold a couple 100. Out of this I got 1 (one) real fan, who emailed me a couple of times being really positive and nagged me for the one update I did for the game. Sometimes, I count myself lucky :)
It would have been nice to keep doing that for a living, though.

- suby 13y agoIf you ever do decide to do it again, or if anyone reading decides to make a game, please pick a name that can be easily googled. Mentioning the game anywhere is a form of marketing, but it's useless if it's not something that the reader can immediately and indiscriminately find by typing into google "name game". Googling discretion game turned up 31 million results, with none of the first page links seeming to be your game. Just a small pet peeve I have, I guess.
