Life of a Lonely Indie Game Developer

"How many more games can I make before I die?"
"What if it doesn't sell?"
"I need to earn money, improve my skills, but I also want to make games."
"Oh, am I already this old?"

This is a realistic life simulation game focusing on the money and time of an individual game developer.

There are no clear objectives. Whether to create your favorite game, earn a lot of money, or live long, it is all up to your choices.

Time and Death

■ The protagonist ages and eventually dies, which ends the game.

■ You can pull all-nighters but it harms your health and shortens your life. Drink and smoke in moderation.

Money

■ Just living costs money (rent, insurance, pension, taxes, etc.).

■ If you can't earn enough from your games, you'll need to find other ways to get money (loans, gambling, investments, part-time jobs, freelance work, etc.).

Growth and Development

■ You can train various skills (self-control, graphics, programming, scenario, popularity, morality, luck, etc.).

■ You can acquire various traits (less likely to lose motivation, strong against all-nighters, part-time job wages increase easily, etc.).

■ You can make the games you like (genre, scale, tool, focus points, plagiarism, etc.).

■ However, everything takes time, and time is limited.

Loneliness

■ You cannot form a team or company; you'll always make games alone. However, outsourcing and buying assets are possible.

■ You cannot make friends or marry.

■ You can keep pets, but they also age and will eventually die.

Reincarnation

■ After living a full life, you can reincarnate while retaining some abilities and restart your life.

■ During reincarnation, you may also acquire a powerful trait (e.g., owning property, tax exemption, no stress, pets don't die, etc.).
