Today is the day! After 11 years, I just quit my job to work full time on my videogames.

I've been dreaming about this day for a long time, and now that it's here I still can't believe it! I'm super excited, and a little scared too
You may be asking how I'm going to survive. Obviously I need to eat, pay bills & enjoy life beyond gamedev.1 réponse 0 Retweet 0 j'aimeAfficher cette discussion -
There will be 3 sources for my monetary needs: 1) Residual income from my previous game Twin Robots (pls buy) 2) Freelancing. 3) Savings. Besides these, there are other factors that weighed in, without which I wouldn't dare to do this:

1) My wife has a steady job. 2) I have no kids. 3) I have no mortgage (I do pay rent though, which where I live - Barcelona - is sky rocketing right now) 4) I have access to a public healthcare system.

I'm not saying you shouldn't do this if you have kids, or if you happen to have a different life situation. I'm just saying that in my case, those factors helped making the decision easier. I know for a fact that I'd be having a hard time trying to convince myself otherwise.

Of course, I'm well aware that shit happens, so despite all the careful planning who knows where I'll be a month from now.

All in all: do follow your dreams, but be prepared in case anything (or everything) doesn't work out as you expected. Don't put anyone at risk or end up trapped with no escape plan.
