A videogame about a fat programmer. He will jump (hard, because he's fat), trying to avoid programming books and other stuff falling from the screen. Bonuses will include nerd tshirts and other nerd stuff.
- I always wanted to make a videogame, plus I'm a programmer. A fat programmer
- Many platforms can be covered with the same code (Unity?)
- If successful can bring a lot of money in a short time
- People throws money into IAP and other videogames-related stuff
- Documentation and tools are almost free.
- Videogames: an overcrowded environment to live in, even if money is spent in games more than ever. Could be a waste of time, very few succeed
- Hard to monetize with free2play models ruling the market
- Can hardly be made alone. A graphic and a sound designer should be involved for a quality product
- Piracy and clones from other devs are a big pain in the a*s, in my opinion
- Hard to make an MVP. Product should be at least in beta to be tested with users
- Probably needs high budget to be spent in marketing
