    This is an excellent video - thank you! I think I have achievements working now... I'm now trying to get stats working (so that I can use them to unlock more achievements - ie, do X damage in total to unlock achievement Y), but I'm hitting a complete blank with it. Anyone got any simple steps to follow? Epic's documentation seems to be pretty sparse and there are fewer tutorials out there than for Steam.

      The EOSLogin script is only for testing and is replaced by the EpicSessionController script (13:08 in the video) anyway, so if everything else is working correctly, I wouldn't worry about that error. I had it too and it didn't cause any issues.

    Dude, thank you!!! I've always wanted to develop games, but I had the opposite problem you had. I had a career I truly loved as an independent contractor and an Adobe certified instructor. But I had to let it all go when my son was diagnosed with autism. He was so messed up! He didn't speak until he was 10. I couldn't put in the hours and do all the traveling I needed to do and help him too. He needed a full-time caregiver, so I became an at-home mom. You'd think I'd have all the time time in the world to learn game development being at home. But he needed doctors visits, therapies and constant care, all day, every day. He's now off to college majoring in engineering so it was well worth the sacrifice, but it cost me literally everything. I committed career suicide. I lost my marriage and had to leave the excitement of Chicago to move back home with my mom. So I'm living in a small town I truly hate, and now I'm older and stuck in a market that doesn't value me. I'm teaching Blender and Photoshop to kids at a local computer camp. But the games I've always wanted to develop are still stuck in my soul, waiting to be born. I didn't know about the Unity plugin you mentioned. I'm not a programmer, but I dream of developing games for VR and AR. Congratulations on your success, and thank you for lighting a fire in me to take a leap of faith. I've got nothing to lose. I've already lost everything. Maybe my dead end is a blessing in disguise!

      Wow, that's quite a story, and I'm sorry to hear about your struggles - but it is truly incredible what you did and achieved for your son. I hope you're finally able to get back on track with your own dreams and do something cool for yourself now that you have the chance. Cliched, but we only have one life! Go for it - the indie community is a really fun and supportive scene to be a part of. For more inspiration, I'd suggest watching some game development documentaries - the ones by Double Fine (called "Double Fine Adventure" and the newly released "Double Fine PsychOdyssey" are great for getting an inside look at the game dev life. GVMERS is also a good CZcams channel for docs. There's so much more to get inspired by. But for sure, go ahead and give it a shot! :) It'll be totally worth it.

A big help in getting noticed was launching a demo on itch.io and gamejolt, and a lot of people wishlisted the game because of the success of that demo. A lot of press attention came from that, which was amplified by the indiegogo campaign. To be honest, it's not a flawless method as I tried to do the same for my next 2 games, but it wasn't as successful. So of course, a lot depends on the game itself! Here are 3 posts I wrote detailing all this, hope you find them useful: www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/7nrdod/6_months_ago_i_quit_my_job_to_make_a_game_solo/ www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/am48n5/2_years_after_quitting_my_job_as_an_architect_my/ www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/blfjg9/3_months_ago_i_released_my_first_game_was_it/

    We think so much a like! I'm glad your game release went well enough for you to keep going independent, congrats. I too attempted full time indie, with similar feelings to you, back in 2018. Sadly for me it failed (probably because I'm a programmer so my weakness is art/music/story) and had to go back to a "real" job. I'm still learning though and hope to attempt full time indie again in the near future with everything I've learned since then.

      Good luck - hope it works out for you! And if possible, you could also try moving to a place with a low cost of living to make it happen and take some of the financial pressure off early on :)

    I am about to quit my job to become an indie developer. I'm nervous, but seeing videos like yours gives me hope. I'm gonna buy your game tonight.

    Finally got around to watching this! Few thoughts. 1 - Dude, it's insane how much changing your physical location for a while can impact your mental health and your work. I'm glad some time away and immersing yourself in other routines has helped your creative process. 2 - As someone working alone on their own personal projects, this video was a wonderful insight I absolutely needed. Between Forgotten Fields and your videos, it seems there's always food for thought to be gained from your work, which I appreciate! 3 - Unwording is looking fantastic!!! It's been wishlisted here for a while now, but I can't wait to be able to play it! Happy new year for you, and I hope 2023 brings you everything you want and more!

      Hey, thanks so much for the kind words! Glad to hear you found the video insightful :) I am planning to get a bit more regular with the CZcams stuff - it's fun to finally be getting around to it! Planning to make one solely around motivation and getting stuff done, I think you might like that. And thanks for wishlisting Unwording - I do think you'll find it quite interesting as well, judging by your videos and our recent conversations :)
