About Life of a Lonely Indie Game Developer

Life of a Lonely Indie Game Developer - about the game
This realistic life simulation game tracks the struggles of a solo indie developer juggling money, time, and aging. The protagonist grows older each playthrough until death ends the run, with permadeath driven by health risks like skimping on sleep or heavy drinking and smoking. Players balance living expenses such as rent and taxes by selling games, taking part-time jobs, doing contract work, gambling, or investing. Train skills in self-discipline, graphics, programming, or scenario writing to craft games of any genre, scope, or engine, while earning traits for better efficiency. Stay alone without teams, friends, or marriage, but keep a pet that eventually ages away, or outsource assets. Reincarnate after death to retain abilities and gain perks like tax exemptions, appealing to fans of open-ended indie simulations.

"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

â–  The protagonist ages and will eventually die; when that happens, the game ends.

â–  You can pull reckless stunts like cutting your sleep, but it harms your health and shortens your life. Keep drinking and smoking in moderation.

Money

â–  Just being alive costs money (rent, insurance, pension, taxes, etc.).

■ Therefore, if your own games don’t bring in cash, you’ll need other sources (part-time jobs, contract work, gambling, investing, etc.).

Growth and Development

â–  You can train any abilities you like (self-discipline, graphics, programming, scenario writing, fame, etc.).

â–  You can acquire various traits (motivation drops more slowly, better sleep quality, faster development, etc.).

â–  You can make whatever game you like (genre, scope, engine, how you create assets, cloning, etc.).

â–  However, everything takes time, and time is finite.

Loneliness

■ You can’t form a team or company; you will make games alone forever. Outsourcing and buying assets are allowed, though.

■ You can’t make friends, and you can’t get married.

â–  You can keep a pet, but of course the pet will age and eventually leave you.

Reincarnation

â–  When you finish a lifetime, you can be reborn retaining part of your abilities and live life again.

â–  You may also obtain powerful traits at reincarnation (owning property, tax exemption, no stress, pets never die, etc.).

※ The game, its systems, and its laws are fictional. In the real world, obey the laws of your country. Also, in real life it’s probably better to make friends and companions.
