Indie game developers have one unfair advantage over funded studios. Money lets you delay reality. When you’re bootstrapping? Every mechanic matters. Every feature has a cost. Every wrong decision hurts. So you talk to players earlier. You test faster. You cut ruthlessly. You ship what actually works, not what looks good in a pitch deck. Here’s what most indie devs miss: 💡 Funding does not create product–market fit. 💡 Grants don’t validate your game. 💡 Publishers don’t fix weak player demand. It only amplifies what already works. I’ve seen solo devs with $10–30K ship profitable games because they obsessed over players. I’ve also seen funded studios burn $1M+ polishing games nobody asked for. That said, once something is working, capital becomes leverage.

I have hypophantasia. That means, instead of seeing an image on your mind, if you’re lucky, you see a flicker of an image. When I was young(like 3 years old) I had at least some visuals on my mind’s eye. But school took that ability… The main problem: I cannot imagine any graphical things until I see it… So what do you think? Is this a problem for my game dev career?
