When starting indie game development, it can be very common to think that you'll strike it rich. But indie game development is largely a business that sees very few high profile successes compared to other fields. Its easy to get caught up in the stories about legendary indie game dev millionaires, but that is not commonplace.

In this video, I try to answer the fundamental question of how to make money as an indie game developer. I've tried to identify 3 main methods for monetization of game dev, and really any side project.

I do think it is important to note that although your indie game, or game development in general made not be a huge financial success, it is a huge accomplishment to release an indie game at all! Regardless, I hope these methods on how to make mondey as an indie game developer are useful!

Comment down below any other methods for indie game dev monetization that I didn't mention!
