Thank you for the kind words. Personally I wouldn't do that, seems to risk. Please make sure you have enough funds to survive for as long as possible. I grew up poor and it sucks. I hate that kind of instability. Good luck with your studio! :)
I sincerely appreciate that concern :)
I am good on funds for a couple years of living frugally. I also grew up poor and you are correct, it does indeed suck. One of the few benefits of having been in the industry for so long and trading my sanity and health for $$ is: I've got a decent bit of that saved up. Which I'll be trading away for survival during this :) If it makes money, great, if not, I gave it a shot and I can always get a job again doing the B2B thing, even though it likely won't be as comfy as the position I'm in. I'm just totally burnt out with it today. To the point where the stress of going to work caused a major health issue to manifest that's given me a new perspective on life.
Thank you for the well wishes! I'll be checking out your game when it's released!
