Indie game devs: I have a couple of questions for you guys, sorry for my naivity and the subjectivity of some of the questions.

Is it as fun as it sounds?
Do you work as a team?
What tech/language do you use?
What platform/os do you produce games for?
Is your primary income from making games?

Im asking because I would like to get into it, but want to get a realistic view of what it's like.

Thanks guys. Please also take this chance to post your work.

I'm not in the game dev, but where did you heard it's even remotely fun?

Because all I've heard about game dev is unpaid overtime each day, spending more dev time on tech demos for convention instead of the actual game, cutthroat deadlines, running out of budget in the middle of development (so you basically work for free until game ships), your employer going out of business because the game didn't sell well and never receiving the money for the last months of your work he still ows you.

@infinite-lifes making games for a living sounds fun. I know reality is probably different, but wanted to hear what people really experience.

And that sounds like dev work in general. My situation isn't far off it really.

@Hedgepig btw, ExtraCredits on YouTube made a video about work as a game developer not that long ago, it's definitely worth a watch.

@infinite-lifes ah I am a big fan of Extra Credits
