Will the games market become totally saturated now?

99.9999999999999999999999% of indie developers will never make a game that interests the games market place, they’ll still be here on the forums in ten years time dreaming about some other “hair brained scheme” for making a game.
Of the 0.0000000000000000000000000000001 % who actually do make a successful commercial game, they’ll change the industry for the better.

Aim at a realistic position in the industry, (ie Freelance modelling or rigging) otherwise you’ll just end up working in your local mall or McDonalds
I had all those illusions in the beginning, but now I make a good living working freelance and can have a good life

I really liked this post. I agree with it (though the percentage may be slightly off haha) and it comforts me since I often wonder if going all in to make a game instead of pursuing a “realistic position” would be better. Game artists with stable jobs often make games in their spare time too, which is what I plan to do eventually.

I also agree with the guy that mentioned VR. I believe that this time, unlike the 90s, that it will really take off. I bought myself a dev kit recently and have been learning it to get in early like you said. I think that’s a smart move.
