Hi everyone,
I’m a beginner game developer, self-studying Unity and C# for just under a year. I focus on mobile platforms and have published a few games on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=ppv_games.
I enjoy indie development because it allows me to bring my own ideas to life (e.g., I’ve made a police simulator and a coffee shop management game). However, I sometimes wonder if aiming for a corporate role might be a better path for growth.
One of my challenges is that my English is still a work in progress, but I’m learning and improving it step by step. I also plan to start studying Chinese soon.
For those with experience in both indie and corporate environments: what do you think? Should I keep pursuing indie development, or is it worth exploring the corporate world?
Looking forward to your thoughts!
My take: just go off of what you want to do. And accept that if you just want to make things, you’re not going to be a solo Indie dev and need a team or need to get hired. Otherwise you gotta work with the market and learn sales/marketing
It’s mostly about how you present yourself.
Myself I run my own Indie XR studio, as I am good with both development and entrepreneurship. For art I hire freelance artists.
