In this video I talk about a question that keeps coming up: is Godot indie game development “dead” in 2026? And my answer is simple—no, it’s not dead. I start by bringing up a real example: a Godot game like Brotato, which sold millions of copies. When people see numbers like that, it’s normal to think “I can do the same,” and yes, it’s possible—but only if you understand the context and what you’re actually signing up for. What I really focus on is risk. Indie dev is not “bad,” but it’s a different kind of risk because, when you’re solo, you rely 100% on your time—and time is money. If you spend months building a minimum viable product and it makes no money, you didn’t just lose revenue—you also lost the chance to build studio experience, grow your portfolio, and increase your earning power. My advice is to build a solid base first: work for someone else, do client work, gain practical experience, and create a strong professional backup. Then, once you have structure (financially and mentally), you can dedicate part-time or a few months to your indie project without everything collapsing if the game doesn’t hit.
