    From Laid off to CEO: Building a Multi-Million Dollar Software Company [Progress Thread]

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    The goal is definitely not to make them faster anymore. I've already achieved that. Project 3 will be done in 2 weeks or less and that's with using my own art skills for assets and no AI. Only took 12 weeks to make. I literally have like 3 features left on it. I'm comfortable with that...

    From Laid off to CEO: Building a Multi-Million Dollar Software Company [Progress Thread]

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    If I could snap my finger and "get a job now" I would. It's not that simple. The labor market in the U.S. is bad. I've sent out hundreds of resumes since 2024. I at least have the crappy warehouse job for now. Only 29,000 jobs in the entire country was added in September 2026 in a country...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    More than likely I'll be done after Project 3 since I think the chance of success is low, but there is still a possibility. If I do fail and end all this, at least I would have made the attempt and have released 3 games. Strike, 1, 2, and 3. I'm out. I'll keep updating this thread until...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    9/26/2026 Update #32A (Minor Update) Project #3 The demo has been released. Good thing I dropped out of this Next Fest and registered for the February one. Wishlists appeared to have stalled. Something is going on because much worse games are doing better. I'm working on figuring out how...

    For those creating game software for Steam. Beware. (700 Games launched on Steam in one week.)

    MARKETING PUBLISHING 
    The Fastlane books warned about this. As development gets easier, you're seeing a flood of content. Part of this is due to releases trying to beat GTA VI in November, but nevertheless the release count is growing in leaps and bounds per week. You're going to need a differentiate yourself and...

    I Play Rocky Trailer

    MINDSET 
    I forgot which one of MJ's books mentions Sylvester Stallone's journey but it looks like they made a movie of it. I do remember he had a stipulation that he had to play Rocky. True story an inspirational. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_g_Ut0jO-0

    CHAT - AI - 
    It's an amazing technology while people like Ed Zitron crap on it daily. What you say sounds wonderful really. I unfortunately can't use ClaudeCode that way for my game though. My workflow is designing then prompting code systems piece by piece. For each piece I compile, spend time testing...
