Hi,

I've still sticking around with my main job which is on web, desktop and mobile development. Most of the time, involves full stack development from front end to back end.

Here's a thing, my main job is not giving high enough salary but with high enough freedom to go anywhere and work at any place as I want. Of course, I'm not abusing this freedom which for the past 10 years experience, I don't see such opportunity.

As for opportunity, I was juggling between online part time development job as well as trying to get a grip into game development mostly focus on mobile.

I don't think the part time development is sustainable in long term but I do need those extra income whereby it is not stable at all. As long as I'm not tied to any part time development, I will start learning and venturing deeper into mobile gaming development. The thing is, while trying to think of simple idea and work ahead on it, I constantly found myself lacking on drawing and animation skill. So, I just use those gibberish type of static arts and play around with it.

I did contact one of my ex-colleague regarding his intention to join me on venturing this mobile game development because I need ideas and his prowess skill on drawing and animating. It seems that he needs some development cost on his side and unable to venture deeper due to uncertainty which I do agree. Unless I came out a brilliant game idea and discuss with him, I doubt I have any potential to have him onboard.

From what I can understand, in order to pull off, I need a developer(mobile + server) which I'm fully responsible, a planner + marketer which responsible for marketing as well as sharing idea and lastly, an animator. Otherwise, this will be a constant hang around without proper move forward as far as I'm concern.

I've even came across a few games development companies that what they did was eventually developed several types of games on mobile to get which games has higher percentage of income through in-app purchase. But somehow, the volume didn't speaks much and after 3 to 4 months after each games released, they resorted to add in ads for extra income.

To be honest, to have a game as easy as flappy bird to hit the spot, I don't even dream of it but I was thinking of developing games to see any potential to hit off.

Mind to share what's your thought on this?
