Ask HN: why nobody talks about game development any more?

I'm using the app store, so the purchasing side of things is not too bad, but yes, all the rest still apply. Haven't even started on a website yet, and I'm planning on making a simple video too as these seem like a good way to show off the game

Why not go for "significant additional income to your bottom line"?

I'd love to, but you've got to learn to crawl before you can run, as they say

I have found the app marketplace to be mixed bag - it's somewhat of a marathon, but more of a slot machine.

You can put in the hours, but you also have to have a little luck. If your app hits, then all that work pays off, if not, then it can be very frustrating.

I have 1 big hit, 1 smaller hit, and 5 losers in the market. Some of my losers took a lot of time.

You're willing to put in the work, so I personally believe you are a step ahead.

I never had any intention of crawling - but I guess I did, so I see where you're coming from.
