Monetary value: worthless
Experience value: PRICELESS

This is such a cool thing to do man. Not many people are so willing to be open and honest about these kind of projects. I for one really appreciate it. It shows you can have success from trying things you really want to do but it’s also like a reality check that it requires so much time and effort.

that knowledge you have now will soon make you hundreds of thousands real soon. dont give up bro. we believe in you.

It's a huge help for developers to see the results of other indie game releases. Hopefully, it will help set more realistic expectations of what indie games sometimes end up making, and maybe even help some people feel less discouraged if their game doesn't make it big. So thank you so much for sharing @bananadev, it is very much appreciated!

Hey Alex, I recently got a new position as a marketing director for a small indie company. I just wanted to let you know that in my research for this role, your video was very informative. Thank you.

[omarnaffeti]

I respect how you were very optimistic about the value you gained from making your game despite the sad revenue in comparison to the insane work you've put into the project, and also you still encourage ppl to pursuit the fulltime game dev dream, very awesome person

[zealouscoder]

Big respect for putting all this work. I totally agree with the point that it is not how much you made from developing this game. It is more about how much experience you got and how many doors it opened for you. Good luck:)

[NouhReacts]

This was very cool and intresting to watch, the way you presented the devlog was also very informative

[goodjoe]

Now bro hit the jackpot after Charlie reacted to his game

[velkoh]

NO WAY PENGUINZ0 POSTED YOU!! I watched it before this and coming back to comment again 💪💪

[icce]

An aspiring indie developer from critical here. I appreciate your advice, there’s so many lessons to be learned here. From the little knowledge I have on your stuff, my number one advice is to push more on all areas of marketing/algorithm. You got this man!

[ret-si]

Just getting straight to the point—no clickbait, no nonsense.

Wishing you all the success!

Fantastic video.

Thank you so much for sharing your invaluable experience. As a newly starting blender artist, I love watching this kind of education content and loved your exp.

[CatZoooGameDev]

I really don't know what to say, your video is really informative, it's from a person who has experience instead of straight from documents.

[ShadowGaming-P]

finally some really indeapth overview
I admire your ability to be straightforward. Your transparency inspires me
i dont think i saw any video going this in-depth about such a thing

[seanminor]

Here from Charlie’s video, thanks for showing this and good luck on all future endeavours!

[Abinbomb]

Glad to see my guy getting some recognition from big YouTubers

[lHuskyy]

Found this vid from moistcritical, very insightful stats for me, as I've recently started hobby gamedev, so thanks for sharing. And don't give up! Keep making games!

Truly has to be something you’re passionate about. I respect it. Love everything gaming dev related and follow many dev logs. I would say I don’t have the sheer dedication needed to work on these complex projects without knowing if you’ll make anything.
