By making a good game? Plenty of indie devs do just fine
you aren't. but you also don't have to sell a minimum of 3 million copies to just break even.
You aren't. You're competing with the other indies.
By posting on the videogames board Ganker on Ganker. I'm sure that will help a lot.
can we play any of your games
pitch the fricking idea
Where are those big AAA breasts the OP was mentioning?
See those circlejerking retro streams on twitch? You're exactly like that.
You're like a prostitute on patreon, you depend on your simps to throw a dime your way. Then you supplement that main source of income by marketing your thing onto distibution platforms where thieves take like 20% cut for your game, but in return you might get more simps to pad your proverbian patreon.
Enjoy the life of an indie e-prostitute.
Undertale did as well as the average AAA game, so just be like Toby Fox
It's not easy to tap into the pansexual furry troony audience. Undertale is not much unlike doing porn commisions if you think about it. The same type of degenerate shows up either way.
hey spot the homosexual samehomosexual
Posting in the same thread more than once is samegayging now? I know this board is only for shill shitposts, but come on now.

Nice try

Go shill your site elsewhere.
Make a game people are willing to pay money for, get enough sales to break even or make a profit. Repeat.
The highest selling video game ever made was made by a single swedish neckbeard
By making good games. The AAAs always cater to the stupid majority.
Have you tried making a good game?
Put in POCs, trans/non binary people and rake in the cash. OHHHH YEEEEEAH!
Are you female?
Suck a game journo off
Are you Black?
put SJW shit and MUH REPARATIONS in it
Are you a white male?
lol ur fricked
be a generalist programmer to pay bills, work on games in your spare time. don't ever assume you'll make a living making games. the most successful indie devs were incredibly lucky on top of being talented/determined.
1.) Make good game
2.) Ask your troony friends at big AAA publishers to give you publicity
Step 1.) is optional
Ignore anything the industry tells you use hot girls and make it fun.
If you can't do something else
You're not supposed to compete *directly* because you'll never win, but that doesn't mean indie development doesn't have its benefits. Indie developers don't have to appease committees or share holders for one, so the easiest way to indirectly compete is to come with games that don't have an equivalent in the AAA industry. You could come with some novel idea like Uplink or Minecraft, you could clone some dead franchise you enjoyed like Bug Fables.
Indie titles have the freedom of being able to execute their vision without the compromise of it being watered down by focus groups and desperately trying to please shareholders. Make games with vision, identity and appeal, and you'll probably find your audience that wouldn't get out of bed for the latest, and most boring AAA releases, no matter how many polygons they've managed to cram into it. If you can't see the advantage you have with being truly free to make whatever you want, then I don't know what to tell you.
you arent, dumbass, the homosexuals that buy AAA garbage are nvr gonna be your audience
you have more freedom than they do.
